This Saturday, Plano's finest will trade their police badges for basketball jerseys as they take on the exceptional PESH Special Needs kids in a game that promises to be much more than just a display of athletic prowess. As announced by the Plano Texas Police Department, the match is set to take place on April 20, in alignment with Autism Awareness Month, making it a fitting tribute to community and inclusivity.

The annual event, which has seen multiple editions, brings the community together for a cause that transcends the court. "Join us this Saturday, April 20, 2024, as the Plano Police go head-to-head against the talented PESH Special Needs kids in a thrilling basketball game," the Plano Texas Police Department's post read. The game not only aims to provide a fun-filled afternoon but also to foster a greater understanding and support within the community for individuals with autism.

Encouraging residents and supporters to turn out in droves, the Police Department's social media exhorts, "So don't miss your chance to be a part of this amazing cause and show your support for these amazing kids." This sentiment reflects a heartwarming tradition of the police engaging with the community, especially with those who have special needs, for mutual support and recognition of the unique talents of these kids.

As part of the Community Awareness Day celebrations, the basketball game has become a hallmark of the Plano Police Department's outreach programs. It stands as a testament to the spirit of communal harmony and the uplifting bonds formed through sports. With the hashtag #pesh #planoeast #planoeastseniorhigh, the community is rallying on social media to promote the event and ensure a substantial turnout for Saturday's game. The Police Department and community hope to make this year's event yet another resounding success.
