The Northville Township Firefighters Charity Fund, a group of Northville Township Firefighters who spend their off days working, collaborating and fundraising for the Northville community, recently received the 2021 mParks Community Service Award. The honor was presented to the group members at the regular meeting of the Northville Township Board of Trustees earlier this month.
The award was based on the support the group provides to public recreation and park programs in the township. Northville Parks and Recreation and Maybury State Park, which belong to mParks, the professional association representing parks and recreation agencies in Michigan, co-nominated the organization for the award. The Firefighters Charity Fund provided support for Safety Town, the Daddy/Daughter dance, the all-inclusive play structure for children of all abilities at Maybury State Park and several other programs.
