The East Cobb Business Association is once again organizing public safety dinners for Cobb police and firefighters, and is asking for financial and prize donations and sponsorships.
The dinner for Precinct 4 police personnel is in the fall, and for county firefighters in April.
Susan Hampton and Kim Paris, co-chairs of the dinner, have sent out an appeal, and here’s more about the level of community involvement in the event:
We are blessed to live, work and raise our families in this wonderful community. We appreciate the continued support of The East Cobb Business Association, event host, and the presenting sponsor, WellStar East Cobb Health Park. Both are represented on the event committee that also includes individuals from East Cobb community-based groups including the Cobb Chamber’s East Cobb Area Council, East Cobb Citizen of the Year award recipients, area civic clubs, and representatives from both the police and fire departments.
We are delighted to continue to work together to plan these appreciation events, and to raise the funds necessary to insure their success. We are reaching out to individuals, businesses, civic and other nonprofit organizations, schools, neighborhoods and churches, and hope you will join us in support of our Public Safety heroes!
Monetary donations can be made in any amount, and for $25 individuals will be identified with a “Thank a Hero” card delivered to public safety honorees at the events.
Here’s more about donating and sponsoring, which run from $250 (silver), $500 (gold) and $1,000 (platinum). There’s also an online sign-up form and other information at that link.
