WCS NAPOLEON KICKS OFF 1st ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY
Rick Mahorn, local leaders join in the Fundraising for the kids.
Detroit (December 3, 2010) -- Christmas will be brighter this year for dozens of children when Sheriff Benny
Napoleon and his many, many elves spread gifts and Christmas cheer throughout Wayne County. On December
15, 2010, Sheriff Napoleon (along with Local 3317 and P.O.A.M.) will host the party benefiting Goodfellows
“No Child Without a Christmas”. It’s a massive, yet heartwarming endeavor conducted by hundreds of
Wayne County Sheriff’s Deputies who raise money to buy toys they’ll deliver to area girls and boys at
Christmas. (Families are identified and pre-selected in advance based on need).
“We want the holidays to be a happy time without parents worrying about getting gifts to the kids on
Christmas Day,” said Sheriff Napoleon. “This is a time when all of us can play Santa.”
This year’s party—co-sponsored by the Wayne County Youth and Senior Education Fund—will feature
silent and live auctions, food, and music. Former Piston Bad Boy Rick MaHorn is also joining the fun and
other prominent guests are expected. The public is invited to share in the celebration because every $20 ticket
purchased goes entirely to buying gifts for needy girls and boys. Last year more than 50 kids received toys,
clothes and personal care items. We invite the media to come out and cover the charitable occasion.
