Blue Springs Citizen’s Police Academy Alumni Association
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bowling for Bikes and Bullets Fundraiser
On Sunday, May 16, 2010, the Blue Springs Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association will be hosting a fundraiser at Lunar Bowl in Blue Springs from 2-5pm. Money is being raised to donate a fully equipped patrol bicycle from Bike Stop to the Blue Springs Police Department Bike Patrol, as well as funding for additional ammunition for the Citizen’s Police Academy range days.
Tickets for the event are on sale through Alumni Association members at $20/per person for unlimited bowling during the event. In addition we are seeking sponsors in the amount of $100 for the event that will receive recognition through company advertisements placed at the bowling lanes at Lunar Bowl. Already we have received tremendous response from the community and sponsors currently include: Clearlakes Insurance Agency, LLC, 3 Suns Cruise & Tours, Zuvers Real Estate, Autumn Place Apartments, Ad Trends, Inc, Leader 1 Financial, Ox Construction, All Right Heating & Cooling, Butterfly Stitches Embroidery & Quilting, Lunar Bowl, and Kwik Kopy. Other businesses have donated items to be used for a raffle, silent auction, and door prizes that will also take place.
Since the beginning of the first Citizen’s Police Academy in the fall of 2008, the graduates of the program have been actively involved in volunteering their time and resources to support the police department in whatever way they can. As an organization we seek to develop, promote, and improve a partnership between the police department and the community, as well as provide education in law enforcement issues, crime prevention, and public safety to the general public. We have recently filed for 501(c)3 non-profit tax exempt status with the federal government, and hope that this fundraiser will be the first of many to be used as a tool to complete our intent of advocating for public safety needs.
It is our hope that all members of the community might be willing to partner with the Alumni Association as we support the police department. Feel free to check out our website at www.bscpa.org for more information, or contact us by email info@bscpa.org.
