BACKGROUND:
The Manteca Police Chief' s Foundation ( Foundation) hosts an annual black -tie ball to help raise funding for their at -risk youth programs. The Foundation is staffed by Manteca police officers, police department staff, and community members who volunteer their time so that 100 percent of all funds raised go directly to programs that benefit the at -risk youth of the community. Through mentorship, intervention, education, vocational training, artistic expression, and athletic pursuits, the Foundation' s mission is to guide the youth of the community in making positive choices, setting aspirational goals, and providing support to help them achieve those goals.
The Lathrop Police Department believes in the mission of the Foundation because helping the at -risk youth in our neighboring City benefits the Lathrop community by reducing crime and gang related activities. When the youth are engaged in positive activities, the ripple effect leads to safer streets across all communities. Additionally, these types of collaborations strengthen the regional public safety networks and reinforces shared values of mutual support and cooperation among law enforcement agencies.
Staff reserved a table sponsorship that includes eight ( 8) dinner tickets. These tickets will first be provided to Councilmembers and Chief of Police. Any remaining tickets will be provided to Lathrop Police Department staff as chosen by the Chief of Police.
The cost for a table sponsorship is $ 1, 000. There are sufficient funds in the Lathrop Police Department' s adopted FY 2025/6 budget to cover the cost of table sponsorship.
Staff requests City Council approval for a table sponsorship at the Police Chief' sBlack - Tie BaII, A Night Among Heroes, by Manteca Police Chief' s Foundation on November 1, 2025, in Manteca, California.
