WHY:     
To sponsor a fundraising event that brings public service employees and the community together in support of a worthy cause.

The CTD will host the 14th annual “Cops for Tots” Car and Motorcycle Show at the Los Angeles Police Academy in Elysian Park. Approximately 14 years ago, Cops for Tots adopted the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles Bone Marrow Transplant Unit and have since adopted other children’s charities.  All proceeds from the show not only benefit the child in need of a transplant, but the child’s family as well. Cops for Tots is a tax-exempt, charitable organization.
       
This year’s show will feature vintage and specialty vehicles, live entertainment, food vendors and static displays from various LAPD specialized units.  The event is open to the public and admission is free. The funds raised at this year’s event will enable continued financial support of the children’s charities.
