Family-friendly fundraiser brings first responders together for a cause in Greeley.
GREELEY, CO — Northern Colorado’s bravest are squaring off in a fun, family-friendly competition that pits first responders against each other for more than bragging rights. The Battle of the Badges Arm Wrestling Tournament will take place on Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 11 a.m. at Colorado Cornhole Connection (2403 4th Avenue, Greeley).
Firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other emergency personnel will compete in an exciting arm wrestling competition, all while raising funds to benefit Life Stories Child & Family Advocacy, a local nonprofit that supports children and families impacted by abuse.
Special guests Julian Smith and Cire Brown will serve as referees, lending some star power to the showdown.
