Under sunny skies, the crowds came out to support the second Greenwich Police Department (GPD) Scholarship Fund 2023 Benefit Car Show, on Saturday, May 13. A 1932 Chevy with only 32,000 miles on it and just two owners was among the show”™s winners. Mike Fratello, the second owner of the car won the Best Survivor Trophy, which recognizes vehicles in their original condition. More than 70 classic cars displayed in the Greenwich Town Hall parking lot included lines of 1930 and 1940 Fords and Cadillacs and classic street cars such as Mustangs, GTOs and Corvettes from the 60s and 70s. The Scholarship Fund supports qualified, high-performing children of GPD officers in their undergraduate college pursuits.
“We all want our children to pursue their desired educational opportunities and when they achieve their goal, the next step is funding it so that it doesn”™t burden them with future debt,” said Sgt. Brent Reeves of the Greenwich Police Department.
The Greenwich Police Department Scholarship Fund, incorporated in December of 1962, was granted tax-exempt status under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code in November 1963. To donate, visit http://bit.ly/GPDSFdonate.
