Dec. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- At Raymond Chevrolet Kia on Route 173 in Antioch, IL Christmas came a little early for some deserving boys and girls. On Wednesday, December 15, 2010 the Antioch Police Department brought 40 children to Raymond Chevrolet as part of the “Shop with a Cop” program.  The children received Christmas presents and some spending money courtesy of Raymond Chevrolet and their generous employees.

The children arrived at Raymond Chevrolet by police escort in "Santa's Sleigh". (Really Chevrolet Suburbans courtesy of Raymond Chevrolet.)  Their arrival could not have been missed, as the motorcade included police vehicles and SUVs complete with lights and sirens.  It was certainly a site to be seen.

“This is our 9th year participating in this event and every year it just gets better,” said Mark Scarpelli owner of Raymond Chevrolet. “It’s a great way to make a child’s Christmas that much more special,” concluded Scarpelli.

The children were greeted by Raymond employees, who escorted them to Santa's bag of toys. (A Chevrolet Silverado pick-up loaded with presents in the truck bed.) Mark Scarpelli, owner of Raymond Chevrolet Kia, welcomed the children and proceeded to hand out presents to each child. The children opened their presents and thanked Mr. Scarpelli and his employees.  The air of excitement and the smiles on the faces of all the children made this event a sure hit!

After unwrapping presents, the children were off to Antioch Walmart to "Shop with a Cop." Each left with money from Raymond Chevrolet, in addition to their cop money, to spend how they pleased at Walmart.
