Press Release  - Sterling Police Department

The Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association have once again joined forces with the Jimmy Fund to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients now and in the future. The Mass Police Chiefs have played an essential role for the Jimmy Fund over the past 53 years, and continue to support the cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer institute in Boston through the 2006 Jimmy Fund Canister Drive.

Located on countertops across the area, the canisters offer stores' patrons an opportunity to join the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police in their quest to raise more than $250,000 for the Jimmy Fund in the coming months. You can join the Sterling Police Department and the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association on the front lines of this fight. If you would like to host a canister at your place of business, call the Sterling Police Department at (978) 422-7331.
