More than a dozen matches are scheduled pitting FDNY against Team New England, which is primarily comprised of MCOFU boxers.

"It's a friends and family friendly event for some worthy causes. We started out helping veterans and we still do through Work Vessels For Veterans. It's an honor for us to help these young men and women, especially those who've returned home from Afghanistan and Iraq, get started in their businesses.

We're also very fortunate to have Foxwoods Resort Casino in our corner this year as the host venue. Without Foxwoods, as well as our generous sponsors, promoting a major sporting event like this would be impossible."
