911 gives hope

During a press conference earlier today, Mayor-Elect Lloyd Winnecke announced Sargent Billy Bolin as his new Chief of the Evansville Police Department. Bolin is a native of Evansville and a graduate of Harrison High School (as a Mater Dei grad, I won't hold it against him)...

As a guy, there's not too many things that bring me more joy than seeing something get destroyed. While seeing something explode is generally the best method, I also find watching something get smashed to pieces enjoyable as well which is why I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's Crashin' For Kids demolition derby to benefit 911 Gives Hope.

Four years ago when Evansville Police officers and Firefighters decided to put on a charity boxing match to benefit local children, 911 Gives Hope and Guns & Hoses were born. After the first Guns & Hoses, 911 gives hope was able to distribute about $20,000 to local children's charities.

Tonight's the night! Local cops and firefighters will step into the boxing ring to duke it out for charity. Tickets for tonight's Gun's 'N' Hoses are still available at all Ticketmaster Outlets including the Roberts Stadium Box Office as well as online...

It's now time for you to cast your vote as to who you think should be a Ring Girl at this year's Guns & Hoses. Check out all of the pictures at the gallery and then cast your vote!

Thank you, Tri-State for making this year’s 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays a successful event! With your help we filled a 53 foot trailer full of toys and other items that were delivered to area hospitals. We are so fortunate to have such a giving community...
