On August 14, 2015, Operation Blue Shield and JPMorgan Chase hosted the “Beat the Heat” campaign. The Dallas Police Department and Lewisville Police Department received over 800 cases of bottled water and sports drinks that were donated by JPMorgan Chase employees. The officers will use the drinks to pass out to citizens and to consume while enduring the Texas heat.

Elaine Agather, Chairman of JPMorgan Chase in Dallas stated, “We are thrilled to have this opportunity to show our support for our partners in blue, who protect us 24 hours a day. Our appreciation to them is enormous.”

“We appreciate JPMorgan Chase and all of their employees who participated in Beat the Heat,” said Chief David O. Brown. “It’s great to see one of our corporate partners show this level of support for our men and women in blue.”
