Scholarship Presentation
December 5, 2006
Monroe Community College Damon Center
For a number of years now the Monroe County
Association of Chiefs of Police has hosted an annual event, to raise funds
for our organization. This year’s event, a benefit concert that was
sponsored by various law enforcement vendors, and held at Rochester’s High
Falls, raised a significant amount of money that enabled our Association
to establish a criminal justice scholarship program in conjunction with
The Monroe Community College Foundation. It is our intent to continue
this scholarship program on an annual basis as a means for the Monroe
County Chiefs of Police Association to give back to the community we
serve.
On December 5, 2006, the New York State Association
of Chiefs of Police presented the parents of slain New York State Trooper
A.J. Sperr with the Medal of Honor. Also at this event the Monroe County
Association of Chiefs of Police made an initial donation of $2,000.00 to
the scholarship fund in memory of Trooper A.J. Sperr. R. Thomas Flynn,
President of Monroe Community College, also present at this event,
committed the Foundation to matching this donation therefore making the
first year of the scholarship worth $4,000.00.
If it weren’t for the generous donations of many of
our law enforcement vendors this newly established scholarship fund would
not be possible. We are very grateful for the support our vendors have
provided to us and we look forward to collaboratively growing this
endeavor in future years.
