Hosted by the King County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the Greater King County Police Activities League, this annual event gives children ages 6 months to 15 years old the opportunity to interact with law enforcement in a non-traditional and positive way.

Funds for this event came primarily from the Maple Valley Rotary Club. Each child can use the $50 to purchase toys and gifts for themselves, siblings or family members of their choice.
