The Westerly Chapter of Project Fire Buddies would like to extend a huge thank you to One on One Athletics for hosting and organizing the Glow in the Dark Bowling Tournament for our community!

A special congratulations and thank you to the Westerly Fire Department members who took home the tournament win and generously donated their $2,802 in winnings to Project Fire Buddies!

We are incredibly grateful for this support. Donations like this help us continue our mission of creating more good days for children battling critical illnesses and their families.

Project Fire Buddies (PFB) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2016 by firefighters committed to supporting children facing critical illnesses and the families standing beside them.

Today, PFB has grown to more than 140 fire department chapters across 13 states. In November 2025, the Westerly Chapter became the first Project Fire Buddies chapter in New England, helping bring this incredible mission to our community.

If you know a family with a child battling a critical illness, or would like to learn more about Project Fire Buddies, please reach out to:
