Calendar for a Cause

(WOLO) COLUMBIA,S.C., — ” this is a way of letting the community know there are other sides to them as well.” When you think of law enforcement and flashing lights it’s not always a good thing – until now. 12 distinguished men with both Columbia Police and Fire Departments took off their uniforms and put on their smiles for a new calendar with a cause. “we give scholarships back to the young people in the community, so in order to be able to do that we have to generate funds. this was a new one for us.” The brain child of a Columbia Police Officer was suggested as this years fundraiser for RIchland County Delta Sigma Theta Sorority – and turned into this 12 month calendar shining a new light on some of Columbia’s finest in law enforcement. While the photo shoots are a light hearted way of tackling the more serious need for assistance paying for a higher education – the goal of raising money is not something these sorority sisters take lightly. in fact, the goal is to be able to sell enough of these calendars to raise about 15 thousand dollars in scholarship money for graduating seniors.
