 At Pikeville Medical Center, we provide full service cancer treatment and follow-up care. And our loss in cancer center is one of only a few in Kentucky to hold accreditation from the Commission on Cancer with accommodations. Our purpose is saving lives. On Wednesday, December 14th, Kentucky State Police Post 9 held their annual Shop with a Trooper Christmas event. Dozens of children were treated to a shopping spree in Walmart on Cassidy Boulevard where they picked out toys and clothes to bring home for Christmas. But the families and the troopers were delighted to be involved. Yes, we're at our annual Shop with a Trooper and today's just been a great experience for us and the kids to be able to come out here, just build that bond with them, kind of come out and do a little shopping spree and enjoy the time together. It's been a great day and I'm not seeing a lot of happy faces. Everybody comes together, it's a team effort, but we came in, we had the Greenwich was serving biscuits this morning when they got here, Walmart provided them with the breakfast and then we had Santa Claus show up, take some pictures of the kids, hand out some candy canes. About before we did our shopping, then afterwards the McDonald's on Cassidy Boulevard agreed to feed all the kids lunch for hours. Coleman attributes the success of the event to KSP's yearly fundraising efforts. Any opportunity to raise money for the children is a priority. Any time that we can raise more money, that's more money that we can put back into the program. So, you know, the spindle in this year was $100, if we could, you know, raise more money next year, we could maybe bump that up. So, all the fundraising efforts and all the donations throughout the year, even starting as early as January of next year, you know, those are all of those courses program and the more money we can raise, the more money we can get back to the community. I don't know if you've seen us out here shopping today, but I'm sure if you did, you've seen a lot of cheerful faces. These kids had a really great time. We really appreciate all the community support with all our fundraisers to be able to do this program. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
