Summary
Commissioner Lawrence asked the sheriff for a deputy to assist with the March 8 "Cruising to Close the Child" event on Main Street and requested commissioners sponsor trophies; speakers said the event typically draws 60–80 cars and charges a $25 entry fee.
Commissioner Lawrence asked the Bullock County Commission on Jan. 14, 2025, for support for the annual "Cruising to Close the Child" community car event scheduled for March 8 on Main Street. Lawrence requested one deputy to help with the short run and asked each commissioner to sponsor a trophy for the event. The sheriff was asked to provide a deputy for traffic/courthouse access during the run.
Lawrence described the event as a community fundraiser that benefits children and noted it has been supported by county sponsorship in prior years. Speakers said the event typically attracts about 60 to 80 cars and charges a $25 entry fee; trophies are paid for by sponsors and organizers provide food and door prizes. Lawrence said the event is intended to help community youth and urged participation, while also referencing local concerns about gun violence and neighborhood safety.
No formal budget appropriation or vote appears in the transcript; the item was a public-announcement-style request for operational support and sponsorship.
