On March 24th the NYPD will face off against “Team Colin” during a tune-up hockey game to prepare them to beat the FDNY and also raise money for Colin’s Joy Project!
EverybodyFights for Colin's Joy Project a Huge Success!
What a weekend for Colin’s Joy Project! So much love and support in the room at EverybodyFights and Local149, it was incredible. Seeing the room filled with people wearing their Colin’s Joy Project gear filled our hearts. Over 200 people joined us to celebrate Colin’s life and help build his legacy, and what a job they did! Nearly $20,000 was brought in for Colin’s Joy Project! Check out this lovely piece by Channel 7 news .
The team at EverybodyFights brought an unbelievable amount of energy to keep our hearts pumping and our motivation flowing. Not to mention DJ Kevin keeping the beats flowing! We couldn’t believe how hard everyone worked out, particularly some who haven’t exercised like that in awhile!
Then, the crew at Local149 yet again showed their love and support for our family. This crew has been there for us from the beginning of this painful journey, and have held us up (and fed us) when we didn’t even know how to stand. So thank you Local149 for once again standing with us.
A special thank you to all for your love, support, and generosity!
