A huge thank you to our 2026 Freedom Fish Lynn T-Shirt & Hat Sponsors!

Our sincere appreciation goes to Kerry Ranieri with Reading Cooperative Bank, Cuffe-McGinn Funeral Home, and The Rotary Club of Lynn for sponsoring this year's t-shirts, and to Tammy Kinney from RiverWorks Credit Union for sponsoring our hats.

Because of your generosity, every veteran and captain received commemorative Freedom Fish Lynn apparel, helping make this special day even more memorable for the 211 veterans we were honored to serve.

When you support local businesses that give back to our community, everyone wins. Be sure to visit Reading Cooperative Bank at 400 Broadway, Lynn and RiverWorks Credit Union at 947 Western Ave., Lynn, two organizations that continue to make a real difference for our veterans and our city.
