Greenwich Police Department Scholarship Fund 2024 Benefit Car Show registration is now open. The event will occur from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 8, at Town Hall, 101 Field Point Road, Greenwich. (Rain date: June 9.) Classic, antique, custom and exotic cars, motorcycles and vintage fire trucks will be on display. Car owners are invited to sign up for early-bird pre-registration by May 31.

The event is open to car clubs, and same-day registration will be accepted at the entrance if space permits at $25 per vehicle. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Greenwich Police Department Scholarship Fund. The family-fun event will include a DJ, a 50/50 drawing, food trucks, and more. Sponsorship opportunities start at $50, including $125 as a Trophy Sponsor and $250 to participate as an on-site sponsor. Automobile dealership opportunities begin at $500, including on-site participation and a vehicle to display on-site.

“The town of Greenwich Police Department is proud of its long-standing reputation for supporting its officers and their families,” said Chief of Police James Heavey. “The Scholarship Fund recognizes the achievements of qualified and deserving students of Greenwich police officers while honoring the officers’ dedication. Greenwich Officers have been committed to our community for many years, and I cannot think of a better way for the public to express their appreciation of their dedication,” he said.

Children of Greenwich police officers who qualify by ability and character for undergraduate studies are eligible to receive financial assistance from the Greenwich Police Department’s Scholarship Fund.

The Greenwich Police Department is asking for the community’s support of its Scholarship Fund, which was incorporated in December 1962, and granted tax-exempt status under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code in November 1963.

The fund is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of four individuals whose roles in the community ensure the board’s self-perpetuation. These individuals are the chief of police, the Greenwich High School headmaster, a town attorney and a highly reputable and concerned volunteer from the Greenwich business community. The Office of the Chief of Police is responsible for the day-to-day administration of its activities. Scholarship awards, however, are awarded after review and a vote by the board.
