Saginaw Township Police have also partnered with Ascension St. Mary’s Field Neurosciences Institute to custom fit bike helmets for children. There will be 250 free helmets available for toddlers (over age 1) through teens. A handful of boys and girls bikes will also be raffled off. This free raffle is sponsored by the Saginaw Lodge of Fraternal Order of Police, the Saginaw Township Walmart, and Target Corporation.

Hot dogs, popcorn, and beverages will be available with proceeds benefiting the Saginaw Township Police Explorer Post and Crime Prevention Unit.

This is Saginaw Township’s 17th year holding a National Night Out event, which is celebrated in communities across the country each August to promote police-community partnerships neighborhood safety.
