Good Afternoon, Community Partners –

I wanted to share an opportunity for giving this holiday season.  Our
Criminal Investigations Division is hosting a giving tree in Bennie
Hargrove’s honor and is seeking donations of gift cards to support 10
families.  The details are included below.  If you have any questions
please contact Brittany Martinez, her contact information is at the bottom
of the email.

We will have donation boxes at both our Triangle Substation (2901 Central

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Hello!

I’m reaching out to the Crime Prevention Specialists to see if you all
would love to participate in helping the *Criminal Investigation Division*
with our 3rd Annual *Bennie Hargrove Giving Tree!*

The Bennie Hargrove Giving Tree started in 2020 and it’s our way of helping
give back to families who have been victim to violent crimes.

The giving tree is to honor Bennie Hargrove, a young brave boy who was
taken too soon. Bennie was shot and killed at Washington Middle School
while defending a classmate.

We ask the detectives at CID to each nominate one family that they believe
could really benefit from some extra love and support during a hard holiday
season. 10 families total will be selected that includes the immediate
family which could often times be multiple kids within the home, all 18
years old or younger.

This year, we will be doing things a little differently and we will be
hosting an event for the chosen families to come out to and enjoy food,
games, gifts, food basket and Santa of course! The event will take place
December 22, 2023 if you’d also like to show support. J

If you would like to participate at your area’s substation/community, we
are asking if you could start including a portion in your monthly community
letter about the giving tree and asking the public for donations. We would
like to keep it easy with gift cards: Walmart, Smith’s, Amazon, Target,
Visa or food gift cards for places out to eat or entertainment. No cash
will be accepted. If you would like to participate, I will provide a gift
card drop box for your substation!

The deadline for all donations will be December 1 that way we ensure we
have enough time to organize!

Please let me know If you’d like to participate and if you have any
questions!

Thank you!
