Mobile Police Department Plans Fish Fry, Drawing to Raise Funds for Prichard Pensioners

Apr 15th, 2011

The Mobile Police Department will host a fish fry on Friday, April 29, 2011 at the Knights of Columbus, Council 666 at 3051 Pleasant Valley Road. This is a public event and a department-wide effort to raise money for retired Prichard city employees who have not received their pensions. Pre-sale tickets are available for $8 each and may be purchased at Mobile Police Headquarters at 2460 Government Street or at any of the five police precincts. Plates will also be available for purchase on the day of the sale.

The Department is also having a drawing on the same day in which participants have a chance to win a three-night stay at a Meyer Real Estate Gulf Shores condominium, a $250 gift card to Bel Air Mall, a gift basket and gift card from Callaghan's Irish Social Club and a gift card to Hopjack's Pizza Kitchen and Taproom. Drawing tickets are available at the above listed locations for $1 per chance. These items were donated by the respective companies as was the use of facilities at the Knights of Columbus.

These fundraisers are a collaborative effort of the Mobile Police Department, as there is great concern for fellow officers and city employees who have retired from the neighboring city of Prichard. Area businesses and organizations have also become actively involved in the event, either by actual or in-kind donations. To date, the following, as well as those listed above, have donated to this event:
