PURPOSE:
Contributions:
Friendship Foundation, Inc. - $2,000. This organization awards scholarships to local high school seniors to pursue a college degree. A college educated kid is less likely to get involved in crime, thus reducing crime in our community. The Friendship Foundation of Central Florida is hosting its 21st Annual Founders Golf Tournament on August 3, 2024, at Stoneybrook West Golf Club in Winter Garden, Florida.
Orange County Police Athletic League (PAL) - $5,000. This contribution will provide funds to support and provide athletic, recreational, and educational programs for at-risk youngsters using law enforcement officers as coaches, mentors, and role models to influence children to avoid crime, drugs, gangs, violence, and truancy. The Orange County PAL 2024 Golf Tournament will be held at Shingle Creek Golf Club on September 23, 2024, in Orlando, Florida.
National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) - $5,000. The Central Florida NOBLE Chapter is dedicated to promoting equity in the administration of justice and fostering community relationships. The goal of NOBLE is to be recognized as a highly competent, public service organization that is at the forefront of providing solutions to law enforcement issues and concerns, as well as to the ever-changing needs of our communities.
