Christmas with the Police

Mount Pleasant, SC – Mount Pleasant Police Officers are taking 18 children Christmas shopping at noon on December 18, 2015 at Wal-Mart in Oakland Plantation.

Police officers held a BBQ fundraiser this year to raise money to take 18 deserving children shopping. These children were identified through the local elementary schools and will be treated to a shopping trip with Mount Pleasant Police Officers.  “This shopping trip shows the partnership we have with our community,” says Inspector Chip Googe. “Officers get to interact with these families in a positive way. They get to see police officers as people who deeply care about the community they serve and work hard to preserve a safe haven for their residents.” 

Officers have partnered with Wal-Mart in Oakland Market who provided $2,000 to help make this event possible. McDonalds will also provide lunch for the children prior to their shopping spree.

Christmas Fundraiser

We want to thank everyone who came out and supported our Christmas fundraiser on Friday. With your help we raised approximately $2,800 to take deserving children shopping in December. This total is more than the 2 combined fundraisers we held last year. See our Flickr album below for pictures:
