Special Event - Wheelin’ With Cops
NorthStar and some of our amazing team members took part in a truly special event—Wheelin’ With Cops. This year’s theme was Jurassic Park, making the day even more exciting for the kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley! We’re proud to be part of an event that brings together the community, public safety, and adventure for such a meaningful cause.
The event aims to connect children with public safety professionals, offering them a unique perspective on community service while enjoying outdoor adventure. This journey through the mountains allowed the kids to experience nature and engage with local firefighters, police officers, and four-wheel drive enthusiasts.
