Policeman's Ball 2018

For the last couple of years, the FOP Auxillary #4 in Calhoun County has put on a Policeman's Ball in January every year. Just a little bit about this Ball (Taken from the Facebook Page of the event): "The date was chosen around National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (LEAD) which was created by the Concerns of Police Survivors organization. Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), is a nationally recognized organization dedicated to the surviving families of fallen Officers all over the Country. FOP Auxiliary 4 will combine efforts with C.O.P.S. to assist in sending families of the fallen to DC during National Police Week. The costs to send family members to DC is between $2,000 and $3,000. 50% of the proceeds generated by this event will be directly given to the Alabama Chapter of C.O.P.S. We are proud to partner with this organization and raise money to support such a wonderful cause." 

We have been wanting to go for years, but we always had something come up that weekend and were never able to make it. Luckily, this year we got to go! It was an awesome night of fun, food, dancing, and fellowship with many other officers and their families! 

Location & Caterer: Classic on Noble, Anniston, AL

Entertainment: Good Times Entertainment

Causes: C.O.P.S  & National Law Enforcement Memorial

They also held a raffle for a firearm and took donations for a local Officer’s son who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. I think they ended up raising over $1700 to be donated to the family. 

The place was beautifully decorated and each table had pictures and cards that children from all over the county made for the officers. The food was FABULOUS as well! 

We had a wonderful time & we cannot wait until next year! This is something so near & dear to my heart, because I live this Law Enforcement Life DAILY! It was so awesome to get to have a fun date night, but it makes it even better that this event raises money for such a great cause!
