Yesterday afternoon, members of the Vernon Police Department presented a donation to the Vernon All-Star Olympics to some of our Vernon Middle School All-Star Olympic athletes. The donation comes from the Battle of the Badges charity basketball game that pitted the Vernon Police Department against the Vernon Fire Department. The departments decided to split the money donated during the game evenly, with the Vernon PD giving their portion to our All-Star Olympics. The Vernon All-Star Olympics will be held Wednesday, April 30, at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium.
