LOWNDES COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) - The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office helped make a lot of children's futures a little bit brighter by donating more than $15,000 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Valdosta.

The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office raised the money during its annual Halloween Safe Carnival.

The money made from every ticket sold went toward the fundraiser.

The carnival itself was run by volunteers from the sheriff's office.

Sheriff Ashley Paulk says none of this would be possible without his staff.

He says he and his staff are already working on next year's carnival so the donation can be even more for next year's recipient organization.
