FOP Fundraiser

The Kosciusko County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 149 will be conducting a call-a-thon fundraiser from now until the first week of August. There will be an employee calling various local homes asking for donations for the Kosciusko County FOP. If a donation is given, a driver will be sent out to the residence to collect the donation.

The donations go toward sponsoring the local little league team, sending area children to law enforcement camps and the annual Christmas with Cops program.

Last year the Kosciusko County FOP sponsored four little leagues and sent two kids to the Conservation Officer Camp Molenhour.

The FOP also took 25 local kids shopping at Wal-Mart for Christmas with a Cop.

Along with the programs listed above the FOP also awards four scholarships in the amount of $2,000 in the name of fallen police officers from Kosciusko County.

This fundraiser is sponsored by the Kosciusko County FOP and has no affiliation with the local law enforcement departments, but the FOP members include police officers from different agencies throughout the county.

If there are any questions or concerns, contact the FOP at 574-551-3559 or at www.fop149.com

The Kosciusko County FOP is a non-for profit organization.
