Banquet and motorcycle raffle tickets are still available for the upcoming Citrus Heights Police Activities League’s annual fundraiser dinner at the Community Center. The May 21 event is scheduled to include a spaghetti dinner, no-host bar, and an auction for an original Citrus Heights Police Department Harley Davidson motorcycle.
The evening will also include a silent auction and “up to two” of CHPD’s original Harley Davidson Road King motorcycles will be raffled, according to a news release. The evening is also scheduled to feature a “dance” performance by Citrus Heights police officers — a show organizers say “you won’t want to miss!”
Founded in 2010 as a nonprofit charitable youth organization, the League’s primary goal is to “constructively mentor and influence local, at-risk youth through a variety of recreational activities.” The group also holds several fundraisers each year to help cover costs, with the annual banquet now in its third year.
In an email statement about the fundraiser, Lt. Jason Russo, who also serves as president of the League said relationships fostered by the League between youth and police officers helps to reduce crime and keep kids away from drugs and gang involvement. Activities organized by the League have included outdoor sports, hiking trips, and museum tours.
Tickets for the banquet run $15 each, with raffle tickets available for $25 each. Organizers say proceeds from the event will be used to cover free or low-cost activities for kids throughout the year.
Tickets for the banquet and raffle can be purchased by calling (916) 727-4820 or by emailing Lt. Russo at jrusso@citrusheights.net. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the police department’s front desk.
