Limitations on gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic made hosting spaghetti dinners, fish fries and other community fundraisers impossible. Enter the Southern Macomb Warthogs Chapter 44. The motorcycle club with a membership made up of current, retired or reserve police officers and firefighters, corrections officers, prosecutors and court officers makes charitable giving its mission. Through their own charity bingo, they have raised money to support families with children battling illnesses, to purchase tactical litters for local police K-9 teams and to host “Wish with a Warthog” events for children in need at Christmas.
