A Knights committee of Tony Gervasio, Bill Duggan, Mike Stellato, John Lee, Tom Buchner, Thomas DePoortere, Bernie Flanagan, Tom McNeese and Alan George worked together to organize the dinner, held at the Madison Hotel and had some 225 guests.
“The community really hit the streets to raise money (for the event),” said Lee in a statement. “The community and local businesses really showed up to support the police. We really wanted to show (the police) that the Knights appreciate them in making our surrounding community safe and somewhere we should all be proud of.”
