We just discovered who our anonymous donor of 100 bikes is, and we're BLOWN AWAY AGAIN! 🚲💙

Two-year-old Davie Cauthen, daughter of Sullivan’s Island residents Pierce and Tina Cauthen, has once again made a BIG difference in our Christmas Bike Drive, sending us 100 brand-new bicycles benefiting Toys for Tots!

If you remember, Davie surprised us with 50 bikes last year. This year, she doubled that number! It's hard to imagine a better example of the spirit of giving, especially coming from someone so young.

A HUGE thank-you to Davie (and, of course, Pierce and Tina!) for this incredibly generous donation. We are truly grateful for your kindness and for helping us bring a little extra Christmas magic to 100 children this holiday season.

Davie, you are AMAZING!

Well, it's officially begun, and two days ahead of schedule!

We received a FedEx shipment today containing 79 of the 100 bicycles generously donated by an anonymous donor, with the remaining 21 bikes already on the way!

Our 2026 Christmas Bike Drive benefiting Toys for Tots officially kicks off this Sunday, November 1, and we're already more than one-third of the way toward our goal of putting 300 bicycles into the hands of excited children this Christmas!

What a great way to start!

Let's keep this momentum going. With your generosity and the continued support of Toys for Tots, we can make Christmas a little brighter and bring smiles to the faces of 300 deserving children this year.

Thank you for helping make a difference, one bicycle at a time!

Our bike drive got an early kickstart before it even officially started when Council Member Jodi Latham and her mother donated two sweet bikes to the SIPD 2026 Christmas Bike Drive Benefitting Toys for Tots! We are so appreciative of their continued support again this year!

It was a special evening at last night’s Town Council meeting as we recognized both a longtime member of our SIPD family and the newest addition to our team!

👏 Honoring Sergeant Christopher Wallace

Mayor O’Neil presented Sergeant Christopher Wallace with a resolution honoring his 27 years of dedicated service to the Town of Sullivan’s Island and the Sullivan’s Island Police Department. Sergeant Wallace retired in September, and we were proud to recognize his many years of commitment to our community. In addition, the department presented him with a retirement shadow box to commemorate his career. We are also grateful to LENS Sullivan’s Island for generously providing a gift card to Hall’s Chophouse in recognition of his service.

🇺🇸 Welcoming Officer James Couche

We were also proud to welcome our newest officer, James Couche, who officially took his oath of office administered by Mayor O’Neil. Although new to Sullivan’s Island, Officer Couche brings an impressive 31 years of local law enforcement experience to the SIPD team. We are excited to have him join our department and look forward to the experience, knowledge, and dedication he will bring to serving our island community.

Please join us in thanking Sergeant Wallace for his outstanding service and welcoming Officer Couche to the Sullivan’s Island Police Department!

More information on our upcoming bike drive...

Donations of new bikes can be delivered care of the Sullivan's Island Police Department, 2056 Middle Street, Sullivan's Island, SC 29482.

If you prefer to drop a bike off, you may bring it to Town Hall or call Chief Meadows at 843-883-5736 to make other arrangements.

The drive runs from November 1 through December 13, with delivery to Toys for Tots taking place on Monday, December 14.

We GREATLY appreciate the kindness and generosity of our community partners with their help making these bike drives so successful!

Island Residents, Visitors, and Business Partners,

SCDOT is planning to conduct maintenance on the Ben Sawyer Bridge tonight, Tuesday, October 20, from 9 pm to midnight. Please plan accordingly if you need to leave or travel to Sullivan's Island during that time period.

The Sullivan’s Island Police Department is proud to announce the start of our 6th Annual Christmas Bike Drive benefiting Toys for Tots, beginning Sunday, November 1, 2026!

Each year, our community comes together to help bring Christmas joy to children throughout the area. Last year, we collected more than 300 new bicycles, and this year, we’re asking our amazing community to help us beat that goal!

🚲 How can you help?
Donate a new bicycle in the box or pre-assembled and help make a child’s Christmas morning a little brighter. Every bike makes a difference! The only thing we ask is to avoid donating bikes that have hand brakes. Bikes with coaster-style brakes are much easier to assemble!

📅 Bike Drive: November 1 – December 14, 2026

🎁 Final Delivery: Monday, December 14, 2026, 11:00 am

📍 Delivery Event: Sullivan’s Island Town Hall, 2056 Middle Street

Join SIPD as we continue this special holiday tradition in partnership with the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for local families and children this Christmas season.

📞 Questions? Contact Chief Glenn Meadows at 843-883-5736.

Please share this post and help us spread the word. Let’s make the 2026 drive our biggest one yet!

One community. One mission. Making Christmas brighter, one bike at a time!

During the targeted campaign, we issued 13 citations for a mix of dangerous driving habits, including:

Disregarding a stop sign
Speeding
Careless driving

Speed and distractions can ruin lives. Please join us in reminding everyone to please slow down, pay attention, and ensure everyone gets home safely. Everyone benefits when we work together to keep our island safe!
