The Washington County Sheriff's Office is hosting a one-of-a-kind opportunity for kids to join the Sheriff during the West Bend Christmas Parade. As detailed in a recent social media post, up to three school-aged children will get the chance to ride shotgun in a squad car on Sunday, November 30, at 5:00 PM. The Sheriff's Office post promises a memorable holiday outing, with the Sheriff personally handling the transportation of the lucky winner and their two pals.
Participation in this unique event doubles as a support for a charitable cause, as proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County. Tickets are priced at a modest $1 and are available at Big Brothers Big Sisters' downtown West Bend location until noon on November 28. According to the Wisconsin Sheriff's Office post, "All proceeds go directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters," an organization celebrated for its commitment to fostering meaningful connections between volunteers and local youth.
The winner of the raffle, who will be chosen randomly after the ticket sales end, will receive a special visit from Sheriff Schulteis. Not only will this experience include a ride in the front seat of the parade's squad car, but the children can also designate either their home or a convenient location near the parade route's conclusion for drop-off. It's a setup that guarantees ease for the families involved and a singular thrill for the kids who win.
To stake a claim in this holiday event, interested parties need only stop by the Big Brothers Big Sisters office at 103 S. Main St. "The Sheriff will reach out directly to the winning family after the random drawing," the Sheriff's Office assured the community. The approach not only incentivizes participation but also reaffirms the Sheriff's personal investment in the event and highlights the ongoing collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters to champion the potential inherent in every child, as per the Wisconsin Sheriff's Office post.
