The drive is part of the 16th Annual Joe Bumberger Long Blue Line Cops Fighting Cancer Mission, which provides individualized financial support to families.
The items collected throughout Grand County will be handed out by the Butler family along with the Grand County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, Dec. 13 to Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora.
