St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Deputy Anatoli Schwartz is a much-beloved School Resource Officer (SRO) typically spends his days preventing crime, mentoring students, building positive community relationships, mediating conflicts, enhancing student safety, and responding to emergencies.

For the past year though, he’s been in a fight for his life with cancer. And just like any young warrior relies on his strength, courage, and training, Anatoli also relies on his warriors. On Saturday, January 24th, we are all soldiers in Anatoli’s Army, and whether we help his family by donating blood, sharing a hug, or eating a slice of pizza, we can all help Anatoli and his family by showing them what this community is all about.
