Operation Blue Christmas
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Operation Blue Christmas (OBC). Being the first project that the Boll Weevil Charity Foundation undertook, OBC is very near and dear to our hearts. It has allowed us to spread Christmas cheer throughout the city that we love, while shining a light on the incredible men and women that tirelessly work to keep our community safe.

This year Operation Blue Christmas will be a collaboration between the Memphis Police Department and the Secret Order of Boll Weevils.
Memphis Police Department
MPD has identified ten families whose homes had been burglarized in the first two weeks of December, many of whom had had their Christmas gifts stolen. The Boll Weevils and MPD will take $1000 checks to each of the 10 families that have been victimized. Being able to help bring the Christmas spirit back into the lives of those families is the best part about Operation Blue Christmas. .
Where You Come In We need your help! While we are thrilled to carry out the delivery of the gifts, and the MPD are excited to provide us with a list of worthy recipients. We need your help in funding Operation Blue Christmas. Our goal for this year is to raise $15,000. With that amount we will be able to truly change the lives of many families in our community this Christmas season. Thank you in advance for your support of OBC and showing your appreciation for our community’s law enforcement officers and your love for your neighbors in need. |
