The Pharr Police Department raised more than $15,000 to get kids toys this holiday season.

Over $600 was raised Sunday alone with the help of the PSJA North football team.

The raiders boys started their Sunday waiting tables at IHOP.

The money collected in tips will help put toys under the tree for Valley kids through Pharr Police Department's Blue Santa Campaign. 

The players were hard at work. 

"My mom was a waitress, and she actually told me this morning, she's like, 'you have big shoes to fill, I was the best waitress,' and I was like 'ok' and it actually is pretty tough but yeah I'm getting the hang of it," PSJA North wide receiver Isaac Willingham said.

Pharr police Sergeant Daniel Garcia said their goal was to reach $15,000 across all of their holiday campaigns. 

"And I'm happy to report that yesterday we did surpass our goal, so we're in the green I guess," Garcia said.

The money will also go towards Shop with a Cop later this week. 

"They have selected special needs kids in the school district, and we go shopping with them," Garcia said.
