This Year's Beneficiaries

Leah Davidson -
John and Stephanie Davidson's daughter, Leah, was born with the rare disease, Osteogenesis Imperfecta. This disease is commonly referred to as Brittle Bone Disease. She has suffered numerous fractures to her frail bones since before birth. Her bones will not support... her body weight making her unable to ever walk. She is slated for corrective surgeries throughout the Midwest United States. The family needs to convert their family van to be wheelchair accessible.

Our goal is to raise enough funds to complete this conversion. It is estimated that $16,000 is needed to make this happen.

There will be an on site 50/50 as well as a silent auction of items that are donated.

About the Guns and Hoses

In late 2002, Jon Baker of the Muskegon Police Department approached Todd Rake of the Muskegon Fire Department with the idea of putting on a charity hockey game. The idea was to use a hockey game between police (guns) and fire (hoses) as a fun way for those in the emergency response field to give to children in the community. They also saw an opportunity to reinforce the positive influence firefighters, police officers, medics and other emergency response personnel have as role models in Muskegon County. With the help of volunteers and players from over 30 departments including police, fire, corrections, EMS, hospital ER and US Coast Guard the idea took off and the Muskegon County Guns and Hoses Charity Hockey Game became a reality.
