During the grand opening, the sheriff’s office and Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department members participated in a Hoagies for Heroes competition.
While the Sheriff’s Office won the gold, Wawa awarded both teams won $1,000 to donate to their charity of choice.
The winning team will use the funds for its Project Lifesaver initiative, a partnership with a non-profit organization that provides law enforcement, fire and rescue, and caregivers with a program designed to protect and, when necessary, locate individuals with cognitive disorders who are prone to the life-threatening behavior of wandering.
The organization was founded in 1999 in Chesapeake, Virginia.
