The Calaveras County Deputy Sheriff’s Association establishes a new donor advised fund with a $3000 donation to the Calaveras Community Foundation.
The Calaveras Community Foundation
has received a $3000 check from the Calaveras Deputy Sheriff’s Association. The
DSA is an affiliation of sworn deputies and personnel from the Calaveras
Sheriff’s Department. They independently raise funds for causes that benefit
and promote public safety in the County. They also work with schools to provide
extracurricular activities and provide scholarships for students wishing to
pursue a law enforcement career.

“We want to make a difference in
young people’s lives before we see them in trouble,” said Tracy Busby,
President of the Deputy Sheriff’s Association. “Too often we only see kids
after they’ve broken the law. Our hope is to be a positive influence in their
lives before we become adversaries. We want the public to see us as the good guys, not just cops who hunt down
bad people. By partnering with the Calaveras Foundation, we hope to generate
good-will in the community and influence even more youngster’s lives.”
“The Calaveras Community Foundation welcomes
our new partnership with the Deputy Sheriff’s Association,” said Linda
Kangeter, President of the Calaveras Community Foundation. “We want to help our
youth become productive members of society by reaching out to them and
providing them with opportunities. There is no better partner in this endeavor
than our deputies in the Sheriff’s Department.”
