Challenge Chief Mills and help make holidays brighter for children who are homeless

On Tuesday, December 16, 2014 at 12:00 PM, the Eureka Police and Humboldt Bay Fire Departments will be holding a friendly cornhole fundraising match between EPD/HBFD command staff.  Members of the public are also invited to come and watch or participate in the game. Chief Andrew Mills welcomes all challengers.  The match will be held at Humboldt Bay Fire Station #1 (533 C Street, Eureka).

On Friday, December 19th, at 12:00 PM, there will also be a drawing held to win two custom made EPD and HBFD cornhole boards.  Tickets can be purchased for $10.00 at the Eureka Police Department (604 C Street), Humboldt Bay Fire Station #1 (533 C Street), and Humboldt Hardware (531 2nd Street).

All proceeds will go towards making the holidays a little brighter for several local homeless children during a special “Shop with a Cop” event to be held on Saturday, December 20th at 8:00 AM.  EPD and HBFD officials will be taking several children on a Christmas shopping trip to Shafer’s Ace Hardware (2760 E Street) and Target (2525 4th Street). Both businesses have generously agreed to participate in this event. Shafer’s Ace Hardware will be matching donations spent by the children at their store dollar for dollar, and Target is offering the children who go shopping 20% off.
EPD/HBFD encourages everyone to come watch the game and buy tickets.  The more money raised, the more kids that will get to go “Shop with a Cop” this Saturday.
