National Night Out

The Cudahy Police Department participates in National Night Out in August. The event disseminates information about crime and drug prevention awareness; generates support for and participation in local anticrime programs; strengthens neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and sends a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.  For more information about Cudahy's National Night Out, please contact the Police Department at 414-769-2260.  To learn about the history of National Night Out, visit www.nationaltownwatch.org/nno/index.html.

More than 100 2010 National Night Out in Cudahy photos can be found on the City's Facebook page.  If you're not a fan, become one!

Make-A-Wish Foundation

The Make-A-Wish Foundation began in 1980 with the granting of a "wish" to a child suffering from leukemia.  Since that year, the charity organization has granted wishes to many children living with life threatening medical conditions.  Each child must go through a four-step process to be granted a wish.  For more information, check out the Make-A-Wish Foundation's website, www.wish.org.

Battle of the Badges

The Battle of the Badges has been held twice a year since 2002 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  The battles feature annual basketball and softball games between the Cudahy Police and Fire Departments.
