Our crews recently had a great time stepping outside the ambulance and onto the kickball field for a fundraiser supporting suicide awareness and prevention in Dracut.

While we may have confirmed that EMT skills don’t necessarily translate to kickball skills, the event was about much more than what happened on the field. It was a great opportunity for members of our team to spend time together outside of work, enjoy a little friendly competition and, most importantly, support a cause that impacts individuals and families throughout our communities.

As EMS professionals, our team members see firsthand the importance of mental health awareness, access to resources and supporting those who may be struggling. Events like this help keep those conversations going while bringing the community together around an important mission.

At PrideStar Trinity EMS, our connection to the communities we serve extends well beyond responding to emergency calls. Many of our team members live, work and volunteer right here in these communities, and we’re proud to support local organizations, events and initiatives that make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who organized and supported this year’s event, and to our PrideStar Trinity EMS crew members who came out to represent us.

We may need a little more practice before next year’s tournament — but we’ll definitely be back!
