Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, Inc. Host Benefit to Honor Bobby Valentine

After a fantastic inaugural event last year with tremendous support from all over the community, we look forward to the opportunity to make this year’s event an even bigger success.

The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, Inc. is privileged to honor Bobby Valentine with the 2015 Chief’s Award. Valentine, sports legend and former Director of Public Safety & Health for the City of Stamford, has strong ties the First Responder community.

Valentine’s response to the September 11th tragedy, serving around the clock as de facto commander of an emergency staging area at Shea Stadium, his continued charitable works locally and his strong ties to Fairfield County make him an outstanding recipient for this award. This past year, Valentine coordinated a donation to the Connecticut Burn Center on behalf of the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, Inc. and the National Hockey League. “On behalf of the Connecticut Burn Center, the Bridgeport Hospital Foundation congratulates Bobby Valentine for receiving the 2015 Chief’s Award from the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol,” said Stephen M. Jakab, president of the foundation. “Bobby’s role in the Fire Police Patrol’s support of burn patients and their families, including the maintenance of the new family hospitality suite in the burn center, is greatly appreciated.”

The Chief’s Award is given in recognition of an individual who has helped improve or volunteered services for the well-being of the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, Fire Department or Community as a whole. Valentine has been honored by hundreds of charitable organizations and his good works are legendary. “I don’t take days off,” Valentine once said. “I just want to help.”

 

Event Details

Saturday, March 28, 2015 7:00 – 11:30 PM Greenwich Country Day School Greenwich, CT

The Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol was founded in 1927 and remains in continuous operation to date.  We are one of the last operating fire salvage companies in the United States.  The primary mission of a salvage company like ours is to protect personal property from smoke, fire and water damage in fires and other emergencies. Our priority during emergency situations is to first salvage family photographs, artwork and other heirlooms which are often irreplaceable. We enter burning structures alongside suppression firefighters to perform these tasks and mitigate the damage to personal property. Aside from our salvage work, the Patrol is active at most emergency scenes to assist in setting up a perimeter to keep the public and fellow first responders safe.

This year we are privileged to honor Bobby Valentine with the 2015 Chief’s Award.  Valentine, sports legend and former Director of Public Safety & Health for the City of Stamford, has strong ties the First Responder community. Most recently, Valentine coordinated a donation to the Connecticut Burn Center on behalf of the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol, Inc. and the National Hockey League.  Mr. Valentine’s commitment to volunteerism is greatly respected the Patrol, whose members donate hundreds of hours of time to serving the community.

The Patrol is a 501(c)3 Organization, and any contribution to The Patrol is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
