I would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to make this year’s US Customs vs. Border Patrol charity flag football game happen. I know that the Bliss family was overwhelmed with the support from our community coming together to help their family.

Even though the game was one sided, both teams had fun and enjoyed helping Abby Bliss have a safe and fun summer this year.

The Bliss family will receive additional help in putting the fence up. US Customs officers and Border Patrol agents will come together in the coming weeks with the help of The Rotary Club to get the fence constructed.

The event raised over $1,200.00 for the project.

I would also like to thank the community and our sponsors for supporting this event. Your generous contributions have helped last year’s recipient Adien Brenamen with his mobility, and with your continued generosity Abby Bliss, this year’s recipient, will have her mobility less restricted when playing in the yard this year.
