On Sunday, May 20, 2012, in recognition of National Motorcycle Safety Week, ABATE of Florida, Inc., Southwest Chapter, organized their “Bears for Bears” stuffed animal drive. The stuffed animals were collected to be given to kids who have been involved in or present during critical situations. Members of Southwest Chapter ABATE, Bikers for Christ, Special Forces and the Latin American Motorcycle Association delivered several boxes of stuffed animals to the North Fort Myers Office of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. These stuffed animals will be supplied to deputies so they can be given to children that have been witnesses to violent acts, abuse, or involved in traffic crashes.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank these organizations for their continued support of the Sheriff’s Office and our community.
