The Branson Police Department will soon be clean shaven again, but their efforts in No Shave November and Decem-Beard will be significantly helping a fellow first responder’s family during a difficult time.
The department provided a check for $3,318.88 to Taney County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Matt Wheeler and his wife Margo. Margo has been battling stage 3B colon cancer and the Branson PD wanted to help the family with medical expenses and incidental expenses related to Margo’s treatment.
“We are very proud of our employees and the community for the support they showed for a blue family here in the Ozarks,” Branson Police Chief Eric Schmitt told Branson Tri-Lakes News.
