The Louisville Metro Police
Foundation backs them up by raising funds and creating partnerships to supply
the departments with equipment, programs and initiatives that fall outside the
operating budget. Your police department may not come to mind when you think
about charitable giving, but there are few organizations that touch the lives
of so many in Louisvill Metro. |

Marriage Enrichment Class Sponsored by LMPF
|
| In response to an alarmingly high
divorce rate among Officers, the LMPD Command Staff asked the Foundation for
ideas to possibly help. LMPF Board-member Pastor Bob Russell had an idea. Let's
put together a marriage enrichment program that can help those in need. The
result is a comprehensive program facilitated by Southeast Christian
members. |

LMPD Awards Banquet Needs Your Support
|
| The LMPD's Annual Awards
Banquet has been scheduled for March 18th, however, funds are still needed to
reach our goal of $20,000. Thanks to Thornton's, who has committed $10,000 to
the event, we are still only halfway there. This annual event recognizes those
officers and civilian employees of the LMPD who have gone above and beyond the
call of duty. Last year, the Louisville Metro Police Foundation suprised the
officer and civilian of the year with $500.00 cash, and roundtrip airline
tickets & accomodations anywhere in the United States. For more information on
how you can help, contact Kellie Foote at
kellie.foote@TexasRoadhouse.com. |
