The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the tremendous success
of the annual “Kids Shoot for Youth Charities” event held on Saturday, October
18, 2025. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, participants, and volunteers,
the event raised an impressive $70,000.00 for local youth charities.
The funds will benefit several deserving organizations, including The Easter Seals,
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The March of Dimes, The Gingerbread
House, and Shriners Children’s. Each of these outstanding organizations are
dedicated to improving the lives of children and families across our community.
Participants enjoyed a day of friendly competition, great shooting, and camaraderie
under a beautiful fall sky. The event also featured numerous door prizes and raffle
drawings, with one lucky participant taking home a new shotgun and another
winning a handgun!
Sheriff Julian Whittington expressed his gratitude for the outstanding turnout and
community spirit displayed throughout the day. “This event shows what can be
accomplished when people come together for a great cause. The generosity of our
community continues to amaze me, and every dollar raised will go toward helping
children who truly need it.”

marksmanship:
Junior Division: 1st place – Brody Aultman, 2nd place – Aiden Umling, 3rd
