TS Police Support League, Inc. sponsored the annual Blazer Bolt for Brain
Cancer Awareness in Birmingham on October 15, 2022. This annual run/ walk and 5K event provides direct support for patients and their families who are treated at the University of Alabama Birmingham and Children’s Hospital of Alabama for Primary Brain cancer. In 2021, $42,0000 was raised by this initiative.
TS Police Support League President Sheila Smith stated, “Brain cancer strikes many families in the Black Belt every year. We are proud to support this program that provides help to those in need.” TS Police Support League Secretary/ Treasurer J. W. McFarland, Jr., who participated with his family in the 1 mile fun run/walk, stated, “Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Thanks to Dr. Fisher and the outstanding team at UAB Wallace Tumor Institute, I have been blessed with a full recovery. I am proud of our support for this project. Without Alabama Constitutional Amendment 743 and the electronic bingo system overseen by Greene County Sheriff Jonathan “Joe” Benison, this sponsorship would not be possible. #Save743!”
