Fundraising

While the Department has been very generous with financial support the Auxiliary is a self-funded organization. No Departmental funds are budgeted for the Auxiliary and our operations are supported through donations from the public and our annual Lunch With Santa program. The people of Bowie have been very generous when asked for support, but we need a more stable source of revenue in order to maintain operations at their current level. We are seeking local businesses to sponsor the Auxiliary and pay for supplies, maintain Auxiliary 19 and Canteen 39, and fund future equipment purchases. Sponsors will have their business name and telephone number displayed on the side of Canteen 39, and will benefit from our visibility in the city of Bowie and in surrounding communities. Potential sponsors are encouraged to contact Amy Locker, Glenn Locker, or John B. Cole.
