On Monday, Sept. 13, Sheriff David Harper and the Madison County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) hosted a golf tournament fundraiser to benefit the Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches. With a successful first try, this tournament raised an estimated $12,000. Sheriff David Harper plans to make this fundraising tournament an annual event.
The Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches are on a mission to prevent delinquency and develop lawful, resilient and productive citizens. The Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches give the youth in their care the ability to have the same opportunities to attend school and participate in extracurricular activities, just as their peers do. They have a vision to develop young men and women and equip them with the tools necessary to face the future with a sense of direction, ability and hope. The Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches hold strong values of integrity, quality, stewardship and character. Above all else, they value the children first.
