Ahead of the lighting of its own Christmas tree, Lambeau Field saw its parking lot illuminated with different lights on Monday night for a good cause.  More than 70 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin traveled to the home of the Green Bay Packers to celebrate the success of this year’s Police Lights of Christmas event organized by a Christian music radio station in the Green Bay area. More than $180,000 was collected through the campaign, including $4,000 to $5,000 in Door County. Most funds were raised during events at Culver’s restaurants, including in Sturgeon Bay in July. Sturgeon Bay Police Officer Brandon Shew says it is incredible to see how much the program has grown and the impact it will have this upcoming holiday season.

Shew says some funds have already been put to good use, and some have been donated to HELP of Door County. It is just one example of how law enforcement in Door County gives back during the holiday season. The Door County Sheriff’s Department hosts its annual Chop and Shop with a Cop this Saturday. The event has touched dozens of families over its 20-plus year history by pairing kids with law enforcement personnel to find a Christmas tree and go shopping for presents for their parents and siblings.
