Assist the Officer & National Night Out
National Night Out had some questionable weather, but that did not stop the incredible display of community building shown that evening. The National Anthem, recognition of veterans, music, raffles, ice cream, biker gangs.....the list goes on and on. Many new faces of neighbors wanting to get more engaged; overall great community spirit.
The 2nd Annual All in for the Blue doubled their fundraising efforts this year to a total of $20,644. All proceeds will go to the Assist The Officer organization, which gives financial assistance to families of police officers that may have been injured or killed in the line of duty.
Great community participation. Thank you to all who worked diligently to make these events possible.
