Battle of the Badges!
Monday, October 2 – Monday, October 9
Chaska Police and Chaska Fire are teaming up to make a double impact in our community! They have teamed up and Adopted-a-Highway which will be labeled “Chaska Public Safety” after their upcoming, new Public Safety Facility that will house both departments.
In celebration of their first clean up on Monday, October 9, they are hosting a friendly “food and fund drive competition.”
Which ever department receives the most food and funds (1$ = 1lb) on their behalf, is the winner! The losing team has to pay for a pizza dinner after the clean up.
Want to support your favorite department (I mean really – how does anyone choose between these two??!?), simply drop off your donation anytime between Monday, October 2 and Monday, October 9 during operating hours. Be sure to let your friendly Bountiful Basket volunteer know what department your donation should go towards.
All donations must be in by Monday, October 9 at 3:30 pm.
Can’t wait to see who wins!!
