COHASSET — Chief William Quigley is pleased to announce that 8 members of the Cohasset Police Department, as well as fallen Police Officer Mark Jenkins’ wife, Maria Jenkins, and South Shore Regional Emergency Communications Center (SSREC) Dispatcher Jordan Oster, are taking part in the 2024 Boston Bruins BFit Challenge to raise funding for the Massachusetts Hundred Club. An anonymous donor has said they will match any donations up to $1000, from now until fundraising closes. If you are interested in donating, please click here.
The BFit Challenge will take place on Sunday, January 28, 2024.
The Hundred Club gives an unequivocal and unconditional promise to police officers and firefighters in Massachusetts that in the event they are killed in the line of duty, they will compassionately care for their surviving families for the rest of their lives and never forget their sacrifice.
The Cohasset Police Department is participating in this challenge in honor of Officer Mark Jenkins, who was a valued member of the CPD in the Criminal Investigations Division and more importantly as a friend. Mark will always be cherished and remembered.
The officers participating from the Cohasset Police Department are Detective Lieutenant Michael Lopes, Sergeant Harrison Schmidt, Detective Julie Hall, and Police Officers John Harrington, Gregory Lowrance, Thomas Brown, and Brendan Skerry, as well as Special Police Officer Daniel Pipenbrink.
Firefighters, law enforcement, military members, EMS personnel and community members compete in both fundraising and total number of steps taken during the challenge. First responders participate in courses with varying levels of difficulty. Many of the first responders involved walk up and down the steps of the TD Garden. The challenge has been held both virtually and in person since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cohasset Police Department will be participating in the in-person challenge which will be at the TD Garden and held on January 28, 2024.
Each participant is required to raise a minimum of $300, which brings CPD’s total fundraising goal to $3,000. Last year we raised $4,340 and we are hoping to surpass that this year!
