The New England Revolution honored Steve Brosnihan from Bristol as the Hero of the Match at the team’s home game on Saturday, Sept. 9, against the Montreal Impact. Mr. Brosnihan, a cartoonist for Hasbro Children’s Hospital, was recognized during a pregame ceremony for starting Providence’s “Good Night Lights” initiative. He had a sideline view of the Revs pregame warmups and enjoyed the game from the Putnam Club.

“Good Night Lights” is a city-wide initiative where people from around the city of Providence with a sight line to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital, flash lights towards the hospital to say ‘good night’ to the children. What started out at Mr. Brosnihan saying farewell to a patient, now involves hundreds of Providence residents participating in the initiative by turning their lights on and off to wish the hospital’s children good night

The Revs’ Hero of the Match program honors a local first responder, member of the armed forces or individual making a difference in the community at each home game during the 2017 season.
