THANK YOU!

Because of your love and generosity, the Bridgeton Professional Firefighters were able to raise $2,000 through our breast cancer awareness t-shirt fundraiser to support Michelle Ott in her battle against breast cancer. Yesterday, we had the honor and the privilege of presenting to the Ott family a check for the funds that you all contributed. This was a moment filled with hope, gratitude, and love from a wonderful community.

Thank you to everyone who purchased a shirt, spread the word, and stood with us in making a difference. This gives us hope for every October for the years to come. Together, we are stronger!

Join us in supporting a local hero and raising awareness!

This October, the Bridgeton Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 4822 is proud to announce a heartfelt initiative. We will be selling breast cancer awareness t-shirts, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting the family of a beloved hometown hero, Chad Ott.

For nearly 30 years, Chad has selflessly served the community of Upper Deerfield Township in the emergency medical field, earning recognition as the compassionate and dedicated EMS Chief of Upper Deerfield Emergency Medical Services. Standing by his side for the last 18 years is his incredible wife, Michelle. She is Chad's unwavering supporter and the heart of their family. Michelle is the steady anchor at home, caring for their family while Chad is out caring for others.

Now, Michelle is facing her own battle with breast cancer, and it's our time to rally behind her. These t-shirts represent more than just a piece of clothing. They symbolize our gratitude for all that Chad and Michelle have given to their community. This is a way for us to give back to a family who has given so much and always puts others first.

We have Michelle's back, and we invite you to stand with us.

T-shirts will be available to purchase at our firehouse, located at 1 Orange Street, Bridgeton, NJ 08302, on Monday, October 6th, 2025, for $20. Please see any union member to get your t-shirt and show your support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your kindness and support during this important time. Together, we can make a difference!
