For those looking to add a little edge to their charitable acts, Stumpy's Hatchet House is the go-to spot this evening. In a recent Facebook post by the Coon Rapids Police Department, community members are invited to an axe-throwing event aimed at supporting the local 'Shop with a Cop' program. The gathering, slated for October 4th from 5 to 8pm, is not just about sharpening your hatchet skills but also pitching in to help children in need during the holiday season.
The 'Shop with a Cop' program is a community-based initiative that pairs police officers with children to provide them a shopping experience for the holidays. According to the Coon Rapids Police Department's announcement, participants willing to make a monetary donation will quickly learn to appreciate the thrill of throwing an axe, as well as receive a discount for partaking in this modern-day recreational activity. It's a unique opportunity to not only possibly discover a new hobby but also to directly assist in the funding of a program that brings joy to young members of the community during the holiday season.
Stumpy's Hatchet House, renowned for its engaging take on the traditional pastime of hatchet throwing, has clearly thrown in its lot with this charitable cause. The event mixes fun and fundraising in a novel way, allowing participants to experience the satisfaction of aiming for a bullseye while knowing their money is going to help ensure a merrier holiday for local children. The notion of coupling police-community relations with the pleasure of such a primal sport has garnered positive attention in past events.
"Each donor will receive a discount on axe throwing," the department detailed in their Facebook post. This incentive, coupled with the spirited occasion, aims to not just raise funds but also foster a sense of community spirit and comradery.
