🚗💦 Thank You, Vernon! 💦🚗

The annual Special Olympics Car Wash was a tremendous success, raising $900 in support of Special Olympics New Jersey!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by, donated, volunteered, and helped make the day possible. Your generosity and support continue to make a real difference for these incredible athletes.

Special thanks to Vernon Emergency Medical Services for generously donating the location, supplies, soaps, power washers, and everything needed to help make this event run smoothly.

We are also grateful to our local businesses, community members, Vernon Express athletes, the VTHS Unified Team, Vernon PAL, Vernon Police Officers and their families, PBA 285, and Captain Jason Haw for his 20 years of dedication to the Torch Run.

When Vernon comes together, amazing things happen. Thank you for helping us support a great cause! ❤️🏅

Here's a great article from the The Advertiser News North and some more photos.

During National Police Week, the members of the Vernon PBA 285 proudly stand alongside the dedicated men and women of the Vernon Township Police Department, as well as law enforcement officers across our nation.

This week serves as a reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment displayed every day by those who put on the uniform and answer the call to serve. From protecting our communities to supporting those in need during difficult moments, police officers continue to make countless sacrifices for the safety and well-being of others.

We extend our deepest appreciation to every officer, detective, supervisor, retiree, and law enforcement professional who serves with integrity, professionalism, and honor. We also remember and honor the fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their service and legacy will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your dedication, your resilience, and your commitment to keeping our communities safe.

💙
