WHITE PLAINS, NY (January 20, 2026) — The Westchester County Police Department delivered a $4,100 donation to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital generated from sales of a special Operation Blue Santa commemorative patch.
In addition to bringing some holiday cheer to the patients at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, Operation Blue Santa in recent years has generated some financial support as well for this great hospital. Thanks to George Farrell at Underdogdog Patch Designs, an Operation Blue Santa patch is created each year and is sold to raise funds to support the hospital.
PO DiRienzo, canine Liberty, and George Farrell stopped by the hospital with a check for $4,100. We thank George and all who purchased the commemorative patch for their generosity and support.
Underdog Patch Designs specializes in holiday-themed iron-on patches for police, fire, EMS, and related agencies, often New York-centric, with prices mostly $10–$12. Examples from their Holiday Series include Westchester County Corrections Holiday patch, Westchester County Dept. Of Emergency Services 60 Control holiday patch, New Rochelle NY Police Christmas Patch and various New York police and fire designs.
