Reminder Of "Be Like Mike:" MustacheMarch4PD Group Delivers Basketballs For Alton Police Department To Distribute To Kids

When kids have that ball placed in their hands, most start their dreams of one day being like Michael Jordan and all the other great players on the hardwoods. The MustacheMarch4PD program originated in 2017 and it has raised thousands of dollars to provide items from needed protective equipment for law enforcement to today's basketballs for police departments to distribute to children in the community. A group that included the Police Chief Marcos Pulido, MustacheMarch4PD officials, and others gathered
