Description

The Foundation was established in 2016 to support the goals of the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy, one of eleven state certified regional academies in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Small fundraising endeavors have allowed the Foundation to provide items to make the recruits Academy experience more comfortable. This includes renovating classrooms, purchasing water bottle filling stations, sponsoring Lunch and Learn sessions, and replacing an aging refrigerator with a commercial fridge. The Foundation also sponsors the annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service to remember officers who have died in the line of duty, and 2 blood drives through the year. This year, the Foundation entered a major fundraising campaign to help offset the cost of necessary updates to the Academy facilities.
