Last Thursday, local first responders from six departments, Army National Guard soldiers, Veterans of Foreign Wars members, City of Boone officials, DMACC Women’s Basketball student-athletes, and many other Boone community members came together to make Christmas special and memorable for 96 local children.
Thanks to the generosity of the Boone community, the Boone Police Association was able to purchase $125 worth of life and educational necessities and toys for each child selected. Including additional materials and services needed to host the event, a total of $14,600 was spent on Shop with a Cop 2025.
Due to winter weather, a few selected children were unable to attend. If this applies to your child, please contact Officer Sherrard with the Boone Police Department, and we will arrange for a gift bag and Walmart gift card to be picked up at your convenience.
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Boone County Fairgrounds and Boone Walmart for donating their facilities, allowing everyone to gather safely and comfortably out of the winter weather.
The Boone Police Association is also grateful to:
• Hirta for safely transporting our guests
• Boone South Casey’s for donating pizza
• Boone Fareway for donating drinks, paper plates, and napkins
• Boone Hy-Vee for hosting the chili feed fundraising event
• Boone Parent Teacher Organization for donating cookies
• Boone Rotary Club for donating books
• Dutch Oven Bakery, Dairy Queen, and McDonald’s for donating coupons
We are thankful for the many additional sponsors who helped make Shop with a Cop a success and look forward to recognizing them on a sponsorship board.
The adventure continues for the Boone Police Association and we look forward to interacting with you all at future fundraising and Shop with a Cop events!
