The cars and supporters came out on Saturday, June 8, to support the 2024 Greenwich Police Department Scholarship Fund Benefit Car Show at Town Hall. Classic, antique, custom, and exotic cars, along with vintage fire trucks, filled the lot for car enthusiasts and the public to explore.
“Education opens doors, creates possibilities, and enables students to reach their full potential. These scholarships for Greenwich Police Officers’ children are a tangible way to demonstrate generosity and solidarity with those who serve and protect us daily,” said Chief of Police James Heavey. Thanking participants, sponsors, and attendees, the Chief explained, “investing in the education of Police Officers’ children benefits the recipients and contributes to building a stronger community. It fosters a sense of unity and support within law enforcement families while reinforcing the importance of academic achievement.”
