Operation Protect & Serve Charity Event

The Winston-Salem Police Foundation is proud to announce the Operation Protect & Serve charity event will be held Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at Wake Forest BioTech Place in the Innovation Quarter of downtown Winston-Salem. This festive and memorable event will celebrate the WSPD community while raising awareness of important community building work taking place with the WS Police Foundation’s support.

Community support of Operation Protect & Serve is vital as the Winston-Salem Police Foundation continues to raise funds for key initiatives such as:

-Building authentic relationships between WSPD officers and local youth through a Police Athletic League Outreach Program
-Supporting our local students through key educational programs like the Millennial Scholars Program and Police Foundation Annual Scholarship Fund
-Working in partnership with our WSPD officers to help launch the latest in crime prevention and gun violence reduction technology such as the Real Time Crime Center
-Partnering with the WSPD to support officer and staff health & wellness programs

This year marks an incredible milestone—the 10th ANNIVERSARY of the Winston-Salem Police Foundation (WSPF)! Since its founding in 2015, WSPF has been dedicated to supporting WSPD leadership’s key initiatives, ensuring vital programs and resources that would otherwise go unfunded receive the support they need.
Over the past decade, WSPF has raised and invested nearly $1 million back into the Winston-Salem Police Department (WSPD) and the larger Winston-Salem community. Through our Youth Engagement programs, we’ve assisted more than 1,000 families, creating brighter futures through education, athletics, and the arts.
