Cochise County 'Cars for Kids' fundraiser set for April 5; proceeds to Boys and Girls Club and sheriff outreach
Summary
Sheriff Mark Danos said the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 28 will stage the Cars for Kids fundraiser at the Hobby Lobby Cow Ranch parking lot on April 5 to raise donations for the Boys and Girls Club and law enforcement outreach.
Sheriff Mark Danos told KWCD listeners that Cars for Kids, organized by Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 28, will be held April 5 in the Hobby Lobby Cow Ranch parking lot in Sierra Vista. Registration begins before the event and on the day of the show; organizers plan to limit vehicles to 300.
Danos said proceeds are split: "70% of those funds go to the Boys and Girls Club for their outreach programs... and then 30% goes back to our outreach from the law enforcement to scholarships, donations, things like that." He described auctions, raffles and a public-safety display, and said the event is free to attend.
Why it matters: the fundraiser supports youth programs and local law enforcement outreach while drawing a large public crowd; Danos said organizers expect a few thousand visitors and hope to register up to 300 cars.
Danos encouraged early registration because of the car limit and said the event will feature vendor displays and demonstrations by public-safety agencies.
