Westchester Knicks News Release

WHITE PLAINS, NY - The Westchester Knicks will host a pregame scrimmage between the White Plains Police Department and White Plains Fire Department this Friday, March 24, prior to the team's home against the Reno Bighorns as part of 'Safety Night,' presented by Metro-North Railroad's Office of System Safety.

Police officers will wear custom jerseys to benefit Michael Perry, a White Plains officer who was killed in the line of duty. Jerseys will feature Officer Perry's Car #18, which will be parked outside the arena on Friday along with a local fire truck. The jerseys will be on sale during the Westchester Knicks game, with all proceeds going to the Michael Perry Scholarship Fund.
