EVENTO:	4º Héroes Anuales & Helpers Event at Target
FECHA / HORA:	Diciembre 11, 2014, 8 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
UBICACIÓN:	Objetivo en la colección, Oxnard
PREPARADO POR:	Miguel Lopez, Director de Asuntos de la Comunidad (805) 385-7631, [email protected]
PERSONA DE CONTACTO & INFORMACIÓN DE CONTACTO:	Sgt.. Luis Mancha, (805) 385-7653, [email protected]

DETALLES: Treinta y dos niños bien merecidos (siglos 6 a 12) – de toda la ciudad de Oxnard, fueron invitados a la 4ta edición anual de Héroes & Evento de ayudantes en Target en The Collection, mañana. The annual event will take place between 8:00 Tráfico cerca de la intersección de Oxnard Blvd. 11:00 al, Diciembre 11, 2014.

The children, who all attend elementary schools in Oxnard, will be paired with a uniformed Oxnard Police Officer for a $200 shopping spree at Target. The Oxnard Firefighters Association will also be on-hand to support the event, and provide free helmets. In addition to shopping, the kids will be treated to a breakfast provided by Panera Bread, photos with Santa, y Navideños. Presents purchased for family members will be wrapped on-site by Department civilian volunteers.

El año pasado, the cop & kid teams dispersed throughout the Target store to spend their $200 gift card any way they chose. “It is always touching and great to see how so many of the children shopped first for gifts for their siblings and parents before they even thought of selecting something for themselves,” said Sergeant Luis Mancha, who is coordinating the event again this year. It’s incredibly reassuring and heartwarming to witness children who live everyday with little to still find it in themselves to act so selflessly and think first of others before they think to indulge themselves.

Heroes & Ayudantes se hizo originalmente posible gracias a una $1,000 subvención de Target con un juego $1,000 contribution toward the event by the Oxnard Peace Officer’s Association (OPOA). This year the OPOA generously donated $2,000, the Oxnard Firefighters Association donated $1,000 and The Collection donated $1,500. The Oxnard community came together to make this year extra special through additional financial donations; these sponsors are GEM Mortgage, The Patio Restaurant, The National Latino Police Officer’s Association, Oxnard Cross Fit, DCH Lexus of Oxnard, Kiwanis Club of Oxnard, CrossFit Oxnard, and private anonymous donors.

“We are thankful for the men and women of the OPOA, Oxnard Firefighters Association, The Collection, and our community partners who have joined us to make our event that much more special this year. It shows that as a community, we can do more,” said Chief Jeri Williams. “The smiles that our volunteers and the children share is uplifting and represents what this season is all about,” Williams added.
