Comedian Denis Leary is behind benefits to help honor six firefighters who died in his hometown of Worcester, Mass., reports the Associated Press. The men -- who included a cousin of Leary's -- were killed in a warehouse blaze last December. Benefit events will raise money for the town's fire department, and these will continue into autumn. On Oct. 1 in Worcester, Michael J. Fox, Tim Robbins and hockey's Bobby Orr are among the celebrities scheduled to play in a special hockey game, while the next day a golf tournament is set to include Cindy Crawford and Ed Burns.
