Montgomery County Police Ride With Santa
County police motor squad's "Santa Ride" benefits The Children's Inn at NIH
The annual Montgomery County Police motor squad's "Santa Ride" to benefit the Children's Inn at the National Institutes of Health rode on despite this week's wintery weather.
The ride featured a motorcycle brigade of more than 40 county police motor officers escorting a motorcycle-riding Santa. The officers stopped to pick up donated gifts at all six county police district stations and at the Executive Office Building in Rockville where Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, County Executive Isiah Leggett and county police Chief J. Thomas Manger greeted the brigade. County businesses and residents also donated gift cards so that families could purchase food and supplies during their stays at the inn.
The ride concluded at the Children's Inn at NIH in Bethesda where families gathered for holiday festivities and gifts and met with Santa.
