Police Vs. Fire Department Soccer Game Fundraiser

Copperas Cove, TX - After working side by side to protect the city’s residents, members of Copperas Cove’s police and fire departments met Sunday afternoon to compete in a spirit of friendly competition.  Officers from both departments, as well as members of their families, participated in a charity soccer match. The match took place on fields near Copperas Cove High School, and were free to members of the public. “Both departments work with each other every day,” said Copperas Cove Police Officer William Hughes. “Today we’re here to have fun and raise some money.” While admission was free, attendees could offer donations for the game, as well as for food and a “bouncy castle” for children. The money will go to the Copperas Cove Independent School District’s Police Explorers program, which allows teens interested in a career in law enforcement to get training and volunteer in their community.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
