The team at RollKall is inspired every day by the officers that serve our communities. To pay homage to our everyday heroes, we held a photo challenge earlier this summer inviting all of our local heroes to submit an image of them serving their communities.
We were overwhelmed by the response of submissions and the heartwarming images of officers helping, protecting and representing their communities and have created a mural in the RollKall offices featuring every officer that participated. We are proud and inspired to have these men and women represented at our offices as a daily reminder of why we are all here.
At the end of the photo challenge, we selected four individuals out of over 100 submissions to receive a $250 donation to the charity of their choice.
The winners are:
The SPCA of East Texas is working to improve the lives of animals by alleviating their suffering and elevating their status in society. They provide dog and cat adoption services, spaying and neutering services and operate a wellness clinic.
