“We are there beside them in good times and bad and also help their family members and citizens on probably the worst day of their lives when police and fire show up,” said Executive Director George Beech.

The event featured a live auction with items including everything from golf to getaways.

All money raised will go towards supporting the work Salt & Light Partners does, and they say every dollar goes back into the community.
