Cops Care for Kids Program
On June 5th, 2015 the Brockville Police Association announced the winner of the 4th annual Cops Care for Kids Program. The winner this year is 6 year old Zoey Gibbson, who is a kindergarten student at Prince of Wales Public School. Zoey suffers from a variety of serious medical issues. As the winner of the program, Zoey and her family are going to enjoy a weekend getaway at the Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls and attending to the Shriners Circus.
Every year the Brockville Police Association looks to give back to our community. In the Spring the Association asks for nominations of children from the Brockville area who suffer from a medical illness. Out of the nominations a winner is selected. When the winner is selected the Association looks to provide the child and family with any possible assistance. The common theme is to help make a memory that the whole family can enjoy.
Congratulations Zoey!
