2008 Dodge Charger purchased with help from CCAA in 2012
In 2012, the Carroll County Agriculture Association raised (and matched) funds to purchase a car for the Carroll County Reserve Deputies. Reserve Deputies are all-volunteer deputies who assist the Carroll County Sheriff department in local law enforcement. In 2008, CCAA and its members raised donated $12,250.
The Reserve Deputy program is seeking a replacement vehicle for the 2008 car purchased with that project. As supporters of our local law enforcement officers, CCAA is again raising (and matching) funds for a car.
CCAA will match all donations made through CCAA in support of this project, up to $5,000.
Please download and review the attached letter for more information.
