Donates $5,500 To Local
SheriffDepartment
BIC Graphic (PPAI 114187) donated $5,500 to
the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office in Red
Wing, Minnesota, in support of founding a water
rescue and recovery team. In 2015, the Red Wing
area was struck by the tragic loss of a young
mother of two when her vehicle went into the
Mississippi River. As a result, the local sheriff
department prioritized the need for a water
rescue and recovery team.
