In an effort to raise money for Calvert County Hospice and the
Jailhouse Rockers Relay for Life team, Sheriff Mike Evans relaxed the strict
grooming standards from November 1st until November 30th
in exchange for a $50.00 fine.
The Detention Center, Sheriff’s Office, and some private
citizens were able to raise just under $3,000 during this great cause. Additionally, when Mr. Bryan Dowell of Dowell
Financial Services learned of the fundraiser, he pledged to donate 50 percent
of the total raised. Mr. Dowell
presented a generous $1,500 check to Ms. Jean Fleming and Ms. Claire Piason and
Fleming of Calvert Hospice. Ms. Fleming,
stated, “Donations from the community give us the freedom to meet ever changing
financial demands as they occur. They allow us to meet so many needs, from
keeping our lights on to providing expert end of life care to our patients and
families. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of our community.”
A portion of the money was donated to the Jailhouse
Rockers. The Jailhouse Rockers is a
Relay for Life team that raises money annually for the American Cancer
Society. Sheriff Mike Evans was able to
present the remainder of the money on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office to Ms. Fleming
and Ms. Piason.
