Guns & Hoses is an annual charity ice hockey tournament played in Roanoke, Virginia to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the official charity of the International Association of Firefighters.  Last year alone, the I.A.F.F. raised over $25 million for the MDA through events such as this.  Each year, local Roanoke-area firefighters (the "Hoses") take on a team of local Roanoke-area police officers and law enforcement personnel (the "Guns").  Over the past four years, Roanoke's Guns & Hoses has raised over $20,000 for the MDA, and we hope to do even more over the next four years!  We'd like to thank our sponsors and fans for their continued support in making Guns & Hoses not only possible, but a huge success and blessing to those benefiting from the MDA and the work they do.  THANK YOU!!!

Roanoke County Professional Firefighters Local 3194
