Cops & Kids Christmas fundraiser set for Nov. 23 at Bandana’s Bar & Grill

BEDFORD — Bandana’s Bar and Grill will host the annual Cops & Kids Christmas fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 23, at 1220 5th Street in Bedford. The event supports Spring Mill FOP Lodge #172 in providing Christmas gifts for local children in need.

The fundraiser will include an all-you-can-eat breakfast from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for $12, a bake sale with cookies, cakes, pies and other treats, and a live auction beginning at 2 p.m. A raffle and 50/50 drawing will also take place throughout the day.

Last year’s event raised $16,000, which covered Christmas for 80 children at $200 each. Children are selected by North Lawrence Community Schools teachers who identify students who may need additional support during the holiday season.
