Here's a news release:
The Batavia Police Benevolent Association is conducting a fund-raising drive this winter. The association will be sending out mailings to help raise money to help support various community groups.
For years, the Batavia PBA has helped fund programs in and around Batavia, such as numerous youth athletics, senior citizen groups and community programs. We encourage everyone to help us continue our efforts in serving the community.
We will not be making any solicitations by phone or in person. Should anyone have questions regarding this effort, please contact one of our members, or mail us at: Batavia P.B.A., P.O. Box 299, Batavia, New York, 14021.
With many thanks, and a safe and happy holiday season,
Batavia Police Benevolent Association
Billie, I'm glad you
Billie, I'm glad you mentioned that the police won't solicit in person or by phone. If you do get solicited by a police organization by phone, DO NOT DONATE TO THEM. It is a scam. Only about 5 cents of every dollar goes to charity! 95% goes for "administrative costs."
