Columbus Division of Police Officer Lindsey Alli recently reached out to us about a special young man she met who has been facing some challenges. She thought a punching bag might provide a positive and healthy outlet for him to channel his energy and frustrations.
We loved this idea and worked with her to find a great punching bag and a pair of gloves for him. Officer Alli put it together and then teamed up with fellow 3 Precinct (Clintonville) Officers Charles Naples and Justin Sidle-Wallace to get it delivered and set up. (Check out Officer Sidle-Wallace carrying that big system upstairs all by himself!)
As you can see, this new athletic outlet has already brought a lot of joy and excitement to this wonderful young man. Huge thanks to all our Starfish supporters, including our friends at Byers Auto Group and U.S. Bank, whose generosity makes opportunities like this possible. We’re so grateful to collaborate with dedicated officers who go above and beyond to uplift and support the people they serve.
