IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Local law enforcement and first responders are trading their badges and gear for bats and gloves this week, all for a great cause.
This Friday marks the 15th annual Guns vs. Hoses Charity Softball Game. Deputies from the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 8 will face off against the Idaho Falls Firefighters in a friendly game at Melaleuca Field.
All proceeds will support Make-A-Wish Idaho, helping grant life-changing wishes for local children.
Gates open Friday, July 17th, at 6 PM, and “play ball” begins at 7 PM. Admission only costs a donation at the door. BCSO suggests a contribution of $5 per person or $20 per family.
“This is a fantastic event where all proceeds support Make A Wish here in Idaho and fun for the whole family,” said BCSO Sgt. Bryan Lovell in a news release.
