As many of you know, once an officer retires, he or she is no longer eligible for Signal 13 help. That’s where the BRPBA Distress Fund takes over. To date, we have assisted 134 members/widows, and we currently have two open cases for widows who need help. Without this help, they could lose their home or utilities. We can’t stress enough how very important our Fund is for those in need and we thank you for your continued support. 

The upcoming 2021 Raffle will be mailed out the first week of September with a drawing at our Holiday Party on December 15th, barring any further Covid closure mandates. 

This year you have thirty (30) chances to win. There will be four (4) $500.00 winners, three (3) $300.00 winners, four (4) $200.00 winners, and nineteen (19) $100.00 winners. Those are better odds than a scratch off ticket.

All profits are deposited into our Distress Fund account. 

The Distress Fund Chairman draws no salary for chairing this committee. 

Remember: Raffle winners do not have to be at the party to win.
