Golf Tournament raises thousands for Blue Santa program

The Temple Police Department’s 2nd Annual Blue Santa Golf Tournament raised more than $12,000, which will provide gifts for families in need during the holidays.

Each year, the Temple Police Department’s Blue Santa program provides holiday gifts for hundreds of local children. Through generous donations and partnerships with the community, the department was able to provide gifts for 649 children in 2020 – that’s a 56 percent increase over 2019.

Donations are accepted year-round. For more information or to find out where to donate, contact the program coordinator at 254-298-5553.
