NEW ROCHELLE, NY (November 21, 2025) — The New Rochelle Police Benevolent Association is appealing to residents for donations to support officers and community programs, highlighting the loss of 10 members in the line of duty since the association’s start.
In a letter to residents, the PBA described officers as vital in keeping the community and families safe, dedicating themselves both on and off duty to protecting businesses and homes while fostering meaningful relationships with community members.
The letter noted that contributions enable the organization to continue events such as Operation Blue Santa, Thanksgiving Turkey giveaways, Backpack Giveaways, Youth Baseball of New Rochelle, NR Youth Football, Annual Softball Tournaments, Special Olympics Torch Run and other benevolent events that benefit local charitable organizations.
“We ask that you stand with your officers who stand by you and make a donation today,” the letter stated.
Donations also provide officers with a small gift at retirement or in the event of the ultimate sacrifice, according to the letter.
The PBA expressed pride in its mission of protecting the Queen City while making positive impacts for the community.
“On behalf of the men and women of our Association, I thank you in advance for your loyal support,” the letter said. “Please keep our officers, their families and our City in your thoughts and well wishes.”
The letter wished residents a safe 2025 holiday season and was signed by Liliana Patino.
Donation levels include $20-$50, bronze at $51-$100 with 1 PBA Card, and gold at $251-$500 with 5 PBA Cards & 3 PBA Stickers.
The PBA is a member of the Police Conference of New York Inc. and the Affiliated Police Associations of Westchester County, Inc.
