Rotary Club of Fort Myers South to Host Gala on Sept. 15 to Honor Local Law Enforcement
Registration is now open for the fifth annual Law & Order Ball to be held on September 15. Presented by Creighton Construction and Development and hosted annually by the Rotary Club of Fort Myers South, the esteemed event pays tribute to seven of Lee County’s local law enforcement agencies for their commitment to public safety. The gala also honors an “Officer of the Year” and raises funds to provide grants to Lee County law enforcement agencies and local non-profit organizations. Attendees can register online at LawAndOrderBall.org.
The Law & Order Ball will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at Germain Arena, located at 11000 Everblades Parkway in Estero. The Law & Order Ball will recognize the everyday heroes of the following Lee County law enforcement agencies: Cape Coral Police Department, Florida Gulf Coast University Police Department, Florida Southwestern State College Police Department, Fort Myers Police Department, Lee County Port Authority Police, Lee County Sheriff’s Office, and Sanibel Police Department.
The black-tie optional gala is open to the public and will feature cocktails, hors-d’oeuvres, a formal dinner, silent and live auctions, entertainment, raffles, and even more surprises. The evening will also include a presentation of the prestigious “Officer of the Year” award to one special hero among all participating agencies.
Individual registration for the festive evening is $175 each, and a table for 10 guests is $1,750. Those unable to physically attend are asked to “Fund-A-Cop” to attend the event in their place.
The event, designed to thank local law enforcement agencies, raises funds for the Rotary Club of Fort Myers South Foundation which provides grants to Lee County law enforcement agencies and local non-profit organizations.
