Hundreds headed out to Ladd for one more day of fun, hosted by the Mobile PD.
All week-long, events were dedicated to ending youth violence in the city and showing kids there’s a way to stay safe and have fun.
“We’re really hopeful that the message is taken, and people walk away with appreciation that there’s other ways to solve conflict than violence,” said Bran Cooper, event coordinator. There was live music, performances, and lots of treats, but the biggest hit was a school supply giveaway.“I’m elated,” said Jones. “I’m overjoyed. This week has been an amazing week and great response from the community. That’s a testament to the need in the community.”Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
