The Jackson County Sheriff's Office is hosting the third annual "Soak-A-Sheriff" event fundraiser on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon in the parking lot at 5179 Crater Lake Highway in Central Point.
This family-friendly event will raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Oregon (SOOR) athletes.
Join Sheriff Nate Sickler and deputies as they get drenched by Jackson County Fire District #3 for a great cause. Donations are welcome and all proceeds go to support Special Olympics Oregon.
This will be a fun community and family event, with a kiddie jail, stickers, swag, a polar bear for selfies, Team Grilled Cheese and Boba Tea food trucks, and more.
Soak-A-Sheriff is one of several micro-fundraising events leading up to the annual Southern Oregon Polar Plunge for Special Olympics. This year, the Polar Plunge is on Saturday, March 2nd, at the Rogue Valley Country Club in Medford. It benefits more than 12,000 athlete participants with disabilities across the state.
Soak-A-Sheriff raised around $1,500 in 2023 and they are looking to top that this year. All monies raised provide uniforms, sports equipment, and health and wellness programs in addition to year-round sports training for the special athletes.
