Marcone sponsors fundraiser for families of fallen first responders
38th annual Guns 'N Hoses expected to raise $1 million.
Marcone Appliance Parts recently sponsored the annual Guns 'N Hoses fundraising event.
Held November 26 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, the event is a fundraiser for BackStoppers, which supports the families of fallen or injured first responders. The annual event raises about $1 million each year and features an evening of amateur boxing and mixed martial arts matchups between police and firemen/EMT from the greater Saint Louis metropolitan area.
Marcone is a longtime sponsor of the Guns 'N Hoses event.
“Supporting first responders remains a core commitment for Marcone as we invest in the communities where our customers and employees live,” said Dan Burke, vice president of national accounts at Marcone. “We deeply value the mission of BackStoppers, whose dedication to caring for the families of fallen heroes is something we are honored to stand behind.”
The money raised at the event will contribute toward the $2.5 million that BackStoppers spends to support 95 families -- including 80 children -- in the St. Louis area each year. Since the first Guns 'N Hoses event in 1987, more than $11 million has been raised.
Marcone Appliance Parts is a division of mSupply, the North American distributor delivering HVAC, plumbing and appliance products to industry professionals from coast to coast.
