Laurens Police Department is looking into a series of unsanctioned fundraising attempts that have been targeting residents on behalf of Sanders Middle School’s football program.
According to investigators, men have been going door‑to‑door in the neighborhood, asking for contributions for the team without any official permission from the school or the athletic department.
School officials have clarified that no formal campaign has been launched and that they are not affiliated with any such solicitation efforts.
Police are urging the community to refrain from donating to anyone who claims to represent the school or the football team.
How the Public Can Assist
The department emphasizes that community cooperation is essential to identifying those responsible and preventing further misuse of the school's name.
Residents are encouraged to share any relevant material, such as recordings or license plate numbers, to aid the investigation.
