Abbotsford – The second annual Abbotsford Police Foundation (APF) breakfast fundraising event “Crime is Toast” October 26, 2016 is enjoying strong support from the business community. Funds raised support of the Abbotsford Police Department’s community programs and help enable the APF to help Abbotsford Police achieve their goal of making Abbotsford ‘the Safest City in BC.’
Building on the success from last year’s inaugural event, the APF hopes to achieve a fundraising goal of $50,000. Every dollar donated to the APF helps ensure APD special initiatives are a success.
‘With two weeks until the event, there is still time to come on board as a sponsor,” noted APF President Kevin Boonstra. “I invite everyone in Abbotsford to attend, and bring along your colleagues, family and friends to show support for the great work of the brave men and women of the Abbotsford Police Department.”
The breakfast, with APD Chief Constable Bob Rich, will build awareness of public safety, the work of the APD, the Abbotsford Police Foundation, and ways the community can help make a real difference.
Crime is Toast will be held at the Quality Hotel & Conference Centre Abbotsford on October 26 from 7:00 – 9:30 AM. To purchase tickets and for information on sponsorship opportunities, please visit the APF website: www.abbypf.ca
