NEPBA Announces Annual Golf Tourney

Dear Friends,

I am writing to you to ask for your support! It has been almost fourteen (14) years since we lost New England PBA Secretary / Treasurer Andy Ray to heart complications at the age of 48.In his memory, the NEPBA set up the New England Police Benevolent Association Charity Fund (the “Fund”) and put this golf tournament in his name as he was the co-chairman of the original tournament in Sandwich Ma.The Fund derives its money from various fundraisers and this annual golf tournament.

Over the year’s portions of the monies from the Fund has been used to reward deserving High School Seniors interested in Criminal Justice with Scholarships. The Fund has made numerous donations to local law enforcement charities throughout New England.  The major project of the Fund over the years has been to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington D.C.; the Memorial honors the fallen heroes in our country’s war on crime and terror.

Engraved on its marble walls are the names of every American law enforcement officer ever known to have died in the line of duty, including from Coronavirus. There are now over 23,500 names engraved on the Memorial wall, a powerful reminder of the tremendous debt we owe those who preserve our peace and safety. They shall not be forgotten. To date the Fund has donated over one hundred thousand dollars to the Memorial & Museum.

In order to help the NEPBA Charities to continue with their endeavors, the New England PBA needs your support.
