In all, the American Legion raised $22,650. \u00a0 \u00a0Fire Chief David Westrick, said the fire department used its share to purchase a LUCAS device,\u00a0which costs $15,000 a piece. This lifesaving piece of equipment helps if someone has a heart\u00a0attack or goes into anaphylactic arrest because it does consistent and uninterrupted chest\u00a0compressions. \u00a0 \u00a0The donated money the police department received will go towards the purchase of computer software that will aid with investigation. \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cA lot of it is no specific large item like the fire department was wanting, but a lot of the small,\u00a0miscellaneous items our budget simply doesn\u2019t cover,\u201d said Patrol Officer Doug Schneider. \u00a0 \u00a0Jon LaCroix, Post 382 service officer and chairman of the event committee, said 800 people\u00a0attended the September dinner, which raised $9,000 in one night. He also credits the local\u00a0business sponsors and the citizens who donated their time and money to make this possible. \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cIt was just really great to see the community come forward with such numbers,\u201d said Officer\u00a0Schneider. \u201cIt was really all just support and everything that they did showed that for us.\u201d"}
