ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHILDREN’S HEALTH FOUNDATION 

Arvada 

News: A battle of the badges is shaping up in Arvada, as the city’s police and fire departments each try to collect the most stuffed toys for the Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation. 

The public is invited to participate by stopping by the foundation’s office, 5394 Marshall St., Suite 400, Arvada, between 7 and 10 a.m. on March 25 to donate stuffed toys. 

Representatives from the Arvada Police Department and Arvada Fire Department will be there, along with a fire truck and a police van, to accept donations in a good-natured competition to see which department collects the most toys to be given to hospitalized children. 

For health and safety reasons, all donated items must be new. 

For those unable to donate in person, collection baskets will be available through March 31 at Arvada Fire, 7903 Allison Way; Arvada Police, 8101 Ralston Road, and the aforementioned Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation office.  

The foundation also has an Amazon Wish List.
