Public Safety Foundation Sets Prom-Theme Gala

Have you ever needed a firefighter or police officer for yourself, your family, or your business? Or are you just thankful that help is readily available when you need it?

Then join us as the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation (SPSF) celebrates and supports these men and women at the 5th Annual Smyrna Heroes Gala. Mark your calendars for September 6th at 7pm at our new location, the Smyrna Community Center, 200 Village Green Circle, Smyrna, Ga. Enjoy this 80s -prom-themed night to remember. Dance to the music of Wesley Cook and the sounds of DJ Mike Sanders, enjoy sumptuous food from some of the area’s best restaurants as you sip on cocktails, beer, and wine; win gifts, enter raffles; and participate in the silent and live auctions with easy mobile bidding apps, no need to leave your seat—or the dance floor.  To order your tickets, go to www.SmyrnaHeroesGala.eventbrite.com.

Now in its 5th year, the Smyrna Heroes Gala is a community-wide, volunteer effort by area residents and businesses that honors our firefighter and police officer heroes by setting aside one evening to celebrate these dedicated individuals who protect and serve our community 24/7. Proceeds from the Gala benefit the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation (SPSF), a 501(c)(3) organization that supports both the community and Smyrna’s Public Safety employees. For more information on the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation or for questions about the Gala, please go to www.smyrnapsf.org

This one event provides 85% of the annual funding for the SPSF. Your support of the SPSF’s efforts with the Gala translates to helping all of Smyrna’s residents, businesses, and visitors: How? Our police and firefighters are dedicated to improving the quality of life for those who live, work, play, or visit the City of Smyrna and surrounding communities. We look forward to you joining us at this event to help honor these efforts.
