"No Shave November" Benefits Community

01/23/2018

The “No Shave November” initiative of the Allentown Police Department and Allentown EMS raised $7,200 for charity!

APD raised $6560 over two months. Dream Come True, Valley Youth House, Hair of the Dog Rescue, Seventh Street Neighborhood Center and the Allentown Boys and Girls Club were funding recipients based on APD Facebook page voting. Members of the department took 18 children from the Sixth Street Shelter Christmas shopping, with additional funds donated to the shelter. Funding was also allocated to help purchase a portable basketball rim for Mosser Elementary School.

Additional donations were made by Queen City FOP Lodge #10, Mountainville #30 Crime Watch and Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin.

EMS raised $640 dollars for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley. Yesterday, Paramedic William Carver presented the foundation with the check. Participants donated $20 for November; all 16 donated another $20 to continue in December.
