To our children, law enforcement officers are real-life heroes. Through kind words, high-fives, and moments with Sonny Boy, they build trust and friendship. These connections create a stronger, safer community—one child at a time, one smile at a time, no child left behind.
To our children, every handshake, kind word, and moment spent with these officers when they show them care is a moment they will never forget. Our kids look up to them, finding trust, guidance, and friendship. Each interaction builds a bridge of respect, making our community stronger, safer, and more united every day. Sonny Horses 4 Kids is an important element in this mission
