In 2007, the Police Benevolent Foundation announced an awards program to recognize and encourage member participation in the growth and development of the Foundation through fundraising activities.  The Director’s Award was created to recognize the chapter that raises the most funds in its division in a year.  The Eastern Coastal chapter’s efforts in the North Carolina division led to them receiving the Directors cup for their efforts in 2009.   The Eastern Coastal Chapter was able to work with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to secure a substantial donation for the Foundation along with several other donations.  On April 12, 2010, John Midgette the Executive Director of the North Carolina division was on hand at the regular meeting to present the Director’s award to the chapter leadership.  Congratulations to the Eastern Coastal chapter and thanks to Enterprise Rent-A-Car for their contribution!
