THE REVERE ADVOCATE – Friday, January 3, 2020 Page 3 ECIC donates horse beds to Horses and Heroes Foundation By Tara Vocino A Revere-based nonprofit organization is thanking a local church for donating winter items for its horses. East Coast International Church (ECIC), a nondenominational church located downtown, donated two horse beds to the Horses and Heroes Foundation, an organization that honors police officers and firefighters who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. “ECIC actually called us about donating straw to keep the horses – Chief Bright and Detective Racow – warm in the winter,” Horses and Heroes Foundation President Skyllar Mulvaney said. “The straw is for them to sleep on in their stalls, like shavings, but cleaner.” According to ECIC Children’s Pastor Danielle Sawyer, the church used the straw for its Halloween outreach event, Light the Night, and as decoration outside the church. “We haven’t been able to get rid of it,” Sawyer said. “We were going to just throw it away, but then I remembered Sky, and thought she could reuse it for the horses instead of us just throwing it in the trash.” Fire Chief Christopher Bright, who was the first firefighter to have a horse named after him, was honored for his service, at the Point of Pines fire station in November 2019. In 2015, Bright received the Medal of Valor at the Massachusetts Firefighter of the Year Awards for rescuing his uncle, James Toomey, from the basement of a three-alarm fire at 79 Reservoir Ave. Judy Racow, a Winthrop detective, was also honored in November for her undercover work during a drug bust on Nov. 8, 1995. “I feel honored to be the first female officer to have a Horses and Heroes award named in my honor,” Racow said.
