Reports of suspects asking for fraudulent donations for wrestling, football teams
The Santiam Canyon School District has reported several recent incidents involving an ex-student going door-to-door requesting fraudulent donations for the high school football program. The Linn County Sheriff’s Office also received a call from a concerned Mill City resident reporting a juvenile collecting money for the high school wrestling team. “As far as we know, there should be no solicitation of monies at this point,” said Caroline Gillaspy, ac-
tivities coordinator. She said that with our community of generous donors, it’s especially important to be wary of adults and teenagers asking for money - in person or over the phone. Residents are asked to contact the school district (503-897-2321) or Caroline Gillaspy (503-89702311x240) before donating. “We want to be sure they know it is really going into where it should be,” said Gillaspy. No one has been charged for the illegal requests.
