On December 9, after weeks of shopping and wrapping gifts, officers from the Transit Police Benevolent Association delivered gifts to Oishei Children's Hospital for six families involved in the Stone's Buddies program. Stone's Buddies focuses on assisting families with children who are battling chronic and complex illnesses. In total, these families include 17 children who will receive gifts purchased by the PBA, benefiting child patients and their siblings.

TAPD Officer Dina Bigham organized an incredible event with the support of Officers Christie Clifford, Nicholas Nesci, Michael Klein, Rob Gould, Kenneth Bigham, Lauren DeLaRosa, Joshua King, Madison Dobbs, Megan Stanley, Justin Roehner, Courtney Crosby, and Detective Jamie Maloney. This dedicated team made the event possible by donating their time to shop for, wrap, and deliver over $1,200 worth of gifts to families in need.

This heartwarming initiative truly exemplifies the spirit of community support and kindness during the holiday season.
