The carts filled up quickly: toys, games, Legos, clothes and gift cards that the children eagerly pulled from the shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each child&#8217;s $100 shopping spree was funded by two Riverhead police unions: the Police Benevolent Association and the Superior Officers Association. The lucky children were chosen in consultation with Riverhead school officials and resource officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Patzan family of Riverhead \u2014 13-year-old David, sister 11-year-old Nicole, mom Sara and dad Jeremiah \u2014 it was a special evening. Speaking for his son, Mr. Patzan explained the past year was difficult because David was diagnosed with leukemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBringing my kids here made them happy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This year has not been easy for my family.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicole was drawn to the arts and crafts section, smiling as she placed a \u201cFriends\u201d LEGO set into the cart. Then it was off to the technology section of the store, where David studied his choices for a new pair of headphones.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officers who volunteered seemed to enjoy the evening as much as the kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe all love Christmas and we love kids,\u201d said officer John Morris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officer Kaley Castantine agreed.  &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis will be an experience that will change their views about police officers.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Store director Carley Burgher feels the event brings a sense of community to Target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an enjoyable environment for the kids in the holiday season.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fun-filled evening ended with a pizza party as the carts, overflowing with gifts, waited to be taken home.
