During the most recent Benjamin Russell High School football game at the Sportplex over $1,000 was raised by the crowd in support of the Alabama Army National Guard’s 214th Military Police Company.

“We collected right at $1,000 the other night at the football game,” said Alexander City councilman Bill Young. “That was a great, great start. We greatly appreciate the people of Alex City for their involvement in this and thanks to (American Legion representative) Mark (Sullivan) and the American Legion for being a vehicle to raise these funds.”
