Cornerstone Bank has donated $15,000 to the Central Massachusetts Sparks Association. The organization aids Central Massachusetts firefighters and police officers through the Rehab-7 Incident Support. Cornerstone’s donation will help pay for a trailer stocked with life-saving gear such as water, blankets and protective essentials that will travel to every incident.
“Our heroes on the front lines deserve our full support,” said Cornerstone CEO Todd Tallman. “We know firefighters and police will be there for us whenever we need them. We want to reciprocate and empower them to continue their important work as safely as possible in our community.”
The Central Massachusetts Sparks Association and Rehab-78 were recently created to support first responders. Organizers plan to outfit the trailer with shelving, storage containers and supplies such as disposable wipes to remove potential carcinogens from skin. They will bring it to fire and police incidents in Southbridge, Charlton, Sturbridge, Oxford, Spencer, Leicester, Holden, Rutland and Monson. The trailer will also provide supplies incident victims might need until the American Red Cross or other help arrives.
“We think this is a great concept,” said Tallman. “It has the potential to help countless people, from those putting their lives on the line, to victims going through some of the worst moments of their lives. We hope our contribution goes a long way.”
