The barbeque was sponsored by the Santa Barbara Deputy Sheriff's Association. Through donations, a raffle coordinated by Sheriff's Department Dispatch, and a Bake Sale, we were able to raise enough money to help the Thielst family with the cost of treatments Tanner is receiving. T anner has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare form of pediatric cancer. Government funding remains insufficient to help children and their families searching for a cure for this dreaded disease. Friends for Tanner, in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Deputy Sheriff's Association, is helping this family find a cure.
All donations are tax deductible.
T hank you to everyone who took a moment of their busy day to make a difference in a child's life. For more information regarding news related issues please contact Lt. Michael Burridge, Public Information Officer.
