Every year, the Fargo Police Department runs a fundraiser campaign called Blue Days of Giving where the department members raise money for a member in need through various events. The Leadership Care Fund is proud to partner with the FPD in these fundraisers.

This year, Shawn Gamradt and his wife, Angie, have been nominated to receive the funds raised. Angie has been dealing with some significant health issues she started having in 2020.

If you've met Shawn, he is the first person to drop everything and help someone in need and we are looking forward to what we can put together to help them now.

The FPD Wellness Team designed a custom logo that they have turned into a commemorative patch that will be for sale through BeeSeen, a locally owned business.

They are one of a kind and will only be available til Dec. 31st!

If you are feeling generous, please help us out and support them if you can!

Today we were blessed to accept a very generous donation from a number of businesses in the region. Cormorant Pub & Boathouse was the host site for a concert organized and supported by Big Erv's- Horace, Skooters Plumbing, Midwest Tree & Maintenance, and Hub 41. The group hosted the event, sold T-shirts, and took donations at the door in late July.

Today they presented us with a check for $30,000, as well as presenting a check for $10,000 to Karlee Koswick, another victim of the July 14th shooting in Fargo.

Our community is so supportive and these donations will go a very long way in helping support those affected.

Thank you doesn’t seem to do it justice. Also, who doesn’t like a giant check?!
