Kershaw County Sheriff's Foundation

Our Purpose: To Raise Funds for Kershaw County Sheriff's Office

The Kershaw County Sheriff's Foundation is a 501©3 charitable organization established in 2011 to support the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office to support the Un-Funded portion of the Department's needs and build a close relationship with all of the Citizens of Kershaw County.

The funds raised support the unfunded needs of the entire Sherrif's Department, Reward Deputy of the Quarter, and Deputy of the Year. Also, a special award goes to a Citizen of Law Enforcement each year nominated by the KC Citizens. "The Leonard Price Friend of Law Enforcement" each year."
