Battle of the Badges basketball game, a crowd favorite, is back. This is a great event to enjoy a friendly rivalry and support a local charity.
On Dec. 10, the Clermont Police Department will compete against the Lake County Sheriff’s Office in this annual holiday basketball game for a good cause. The game is set to start at 6:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. at Clermont Elementary School, 680 E. Highland Ave.
The event benefits Christian Men in Action, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, by helping provide holiday toys to children in the Lincoln Park community. On Christmas Eve, Christian Men in Action along with Chief Charles Broadway and members of the Clermont Police Department will give the toys to the kids at its annual Christmas party at McKinney Park, 801 Bloxam Ave, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm.
Clermont Police Chief Charles Broadway would like to personally invite the public to come out and cheer on their local law enforcement. Please bring an unwrapped toy to donate for this great cause as your admission for the game. There will be prizes raffled off during the event as well.
For more information regarding the event, please contact Sgt. Chris Martin, 352.536.8411.
