Paul Wayne, a member of one of the local bands that performed called “Duval County Line,” said he was happy to contribute to this event.
“If you can help someone do it. Just please do it. If we don’t help each other, who’s gonna do it?” Wayne said.
Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook also showed up to share her support for Officer Terry Arnold and his wife, Monica.
“The fact that so many people in the community and in the law enforcement field have come together to raise money for Monica is just wonderful,” Cook said. “When one of our family members from one of our law enforcement families are struggling, the community comes together to help support them.”
According to the event organizers, all proceeds from Saturday’s event will directly support Monica’s medical journey.
If you’d like to contribute to this cause, you are asked to contact the Green Cove Springs Police Department and ask for Terry Arnold who can share how you can help.
Friends of the Arnolds have also started a GoFundMe to help with medical expenses.
