34th Police Vest Fund Dance

The Rotary Club of Brick Township, in conjunction with the Brick Police held the 34th Police Vest Fund dance on Friday, July 27th at the VFW. This event has become an annual favorite in Brick. Over 350 people attended and enjoyed a delicious and bountiful buffet provided by Mulberry Street Italian Food Center on Brick Boulevard and danced to the music of The Nerds. The purpose of the dance is to raise funds to provide our dedicated local police force with bullet proof vests and tactical gear; even the K9s are vested. The cost of one vest is $1,200. It has become a tradition that local organizations and individuals come up during the dance and donate money towards the purchase of vests. $30,000 was raised this year which brings the overall total funds raised to $900,000 over the last 34 years. Brick Rotary is so very thankful to all who have supported this event.
