Jim Wells County Sheriff's Office Partners With National Firm for 2027 Fundraising Calendar

The Jim Wells County Sheriff's Office has announced a partnership with a national calendar-publishing company to produce a fundraising calendar for the department in 2027, according to a report published Tuesday by the Alice Echo News Journal.

The Alice-based paper, a CherryRoad Media publication, reported the announcement on March 10, 2026. The calendar is described as a fundraising vehicle for the department, though specifics about which programs or initiatives will benefit from the proceeds have not been disclosed.

Details about the national publisher involved in the project, including the company's name and the scope of the arrangement, were not available in initial reporting. Similarly, information about calendar pricing, distribution channels, print run size, or where Jim Wells County residents will be able to purchase copies has not yet been released by the sheriff's office.

The partnership raises several questions that the department has not yet addressed publicly: whether the calendar will feature sheriff's office personnel, department vehicles, or community members; whether production costs are being absorbed by the publishing company or the department; and what approvals, if any, the arrangement required from Jim Wells County commissioners or other oversight bodies.

The Alice Echo News Journal article was written by local reporter Pete Vas. Full details from the original report were not immediately accessible, as the newspaper's website requires a login to read complete articles.

The 2027 calendar announcement comes as a separate story, the Lady Vaqueros powerlifting team from the area was recently crowned Region 5-3A Division I champions and preparing for the state meet, underscoring an active stretch of local news for the county seat community of Alice.
