The Delta Police Foundation is hosting a fun fundraiser with a Valentine's Day twist.
Set for Saturday, Feb.
13, the fundraiser at Tsawwassen Springs will feature a four-course dinner and entertainment by a 23-piece swing band, as well as a raffle to win one of several romantic experiences.
In addition to the evening's festivities, the Delta Police Department will be making a surprise announcement that will be a benefit to all Delta residents, said foundation board member Leslie Abramson.
The evening is the first of many larger fundraisers for the police foundation, which was established in 2002 to encourage and support excellence in policing by promoting community awareness and support. Its mandate is to raise funds for ongoing initiatives of the department that are outside its regular operating budget.
The foundation helped purchase the department's emergency command vehicle, which provides officers with a mobile police station that includes dispatch capabilities, workstations and computer equipment, as well as kitchen and washroom facilities, in 2010 and also helped with the purchase of community volunteer vans for the three community police stations. Tickets for the fundraiser cost $125 per person and can be reserved by emailing Leslie Abramson at [email protected] or contacting any police foundation director.
