The Town of Hancock and our community extends its deepest gratitude to the family of Mairah Gillow & Donald Wrighter Jr—and their relatives, friends and supporters—who came together to host a heartfelt fundraiser during this weekend’s 26th Annual Quarry Run.
The Bike Wash event, full of generosity and community spirit, was organized in loving memory of Jason McGlone, 3rd Assistant Chief of the East Branch/Hancock Fire Department, who tragically passed away in the line of duty. Proceeds from the fundraiser were directed to support the McGlone family during this unimaginable loss.
Jason's courage and service will never be forgotten, and our community mourns with the McGlone family. This weekend’s outpouring of kindness reminds us all what it means to come together in times of grief—honoring a hero by supporting the family he held dear.
“This community never fails to show up for one another,” said Town Supervisor Jerry Vernold, who rolled up his sleeves to support this wonderful cause. “It reminds us all that we need to be there for one another. To the Gillow family, your compassion is deeply appreciated. And to the McGlone family, please know we stand with you—now and always. Jason’s legacy lives on in every act of love and service that carries his name forward.”
To the Gillow family, thank you for showing the world what it means to be #HancockStrong.
