Metro Walls supporter/production sponsor for CHaD Battle of the Badges

Manchester, NH Metro Walls, Inc is proud to be a supporter and Production Sponsor for the CHaD Battle of the Badges hockey championship held at SNHU Arena on March 16th. 

This event supported Children’s Hospital of Dartmouth-Hitchcock, one of New Hampshire’s only children’s hospitals with 14 locations across the state, including Manchester. Funds raised provide for family support services that are crucial to the well-being of kids.

“CHaD makes it possible for these kids to get the care they need locally and we’re happy to have been part of this event the past few years,” said Mike Dion, president of Metro Walls, Inc.

The Metro Walls staff was thrilled to take over a suite at the Battle of the Badges game where firefighters and police officers across the state square off in an on-ice grudge match. This year’s game was an exciting, competitive, and memorable family night for all involved. In the end, the firemen took the title in the last six seconds, bringing the crowd to their feet! The final score was 6-5.

“Seeing our staff come out to support this cause and cheer on the service people of our community was just awesome,” said Bryan Hussey, executive vice president of Metro Walls.
