Sheriff’s Office receives additional holiday donations

Holiday donations to the Sheriff’s Office continued to snowball in the last 24 hours as two more community members donated additional funds.

Marathon Vice Mayor Dr. Daniel Zieg called Sheriff Rick Ramsay Thursday night to advise him he wished to donate $1,000.

Friday morning, David Brickner of Key West contacted the Sheriff’s Office with a $4,000 donation.

They join Marathon City Councilman Steve Cook and the Bentleys of Key West who each donated $4,000 as well as Jeannette Chiari and her husband Bill Horn and Maria Brandvold, all of Marathon, who all donated $1,000.

All the donations were made to support local law enforcement and the community.

Deputies will disperse $50 grocery store gift cards to those in need throughout the county on behalf of all who donated.

“We’re are extremely thankful and blessed by these additional donations from citizens, friends and partners,” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay. “Their generosity will help make this holiday season the best it can be for many others.”
