Competiting for the battle of the mic against eight other teams was worth the fun. Members of the Mobile Police Department and Mobile Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association recently participated in the second annual Lip Sync Battle hosted by the Fuse Project. Although they did not bring home a win, they represented well by raising $1,440 for the cause. The funds benefit the Historic Avenue Foundation. Since the inception of the Fuse Project, the organization has awarded over $2,000,000 in funding to local organizations who are changing the game for children in the city of Mobile. The Historic Avenue Foundation’s goal is to help end generational poverty by using holistic approaches that focus on building mixed income housing, investing in equitable education, and providing transformation community wellness programs. The event took place at the Soul Kitchen on February 3. Thanks to Chief Prine for allowing the department to participate and to all who supported the cause. Special thanks to the MPD SET, Victim Advocate Stacey Woodyard, Tonyia Percy and the DA’s Office for their generous donations. To learn more or donate to the Fuse Project, visit fuseproject.org.
