The Waukesha firefighters will donate to a Wisconsin burn victims camp which allows children who have been scarred by fire to have fun with others in the summer while not worrying about what they look like.
The rest the proceeds will go to the fundraiser’s sponsoring group, the Waukesha Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, to be used as seed money for projects with Waukesha Police Department. In the past, the alumni association has helped the department purchase items like practice ammunition and Tasers when the city’s budget didn’t allow the extras to be purchased.
