The Nick Loeb Foundation’s 4th Annual “Party with the Police” BBQ & Pool Party will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 11:00am to 4:00pm at a private residence in Purchase, New York.
“This event gives the community a great opportunity to show appreciation for our local police officers, and help create a brighter future for their children,” said Ilaria Damiano, President of the Nick Loeb Foundation.

This family-friendly summer celebration brings together the community in support of education, the local police force and their families. Proceeds from the event will fund college scholarships for the children of local law enforcement officers, many of whom face financial barriers to accessing higher education. Last year, the event raised enough to grant three college scholarships to the children of Greenwich, Harrison, and White Plains police officers.
The event will feature a BBQ lunch sponsored by celebrity chef David Burke, live music, swimming, water park activities featuring a 50-foot water slide, mechanical bull for adults, VIP baseball game with New York Mets and Yankee stars, experiences and giveaways hosted by Melissa Tomlin of 914 Pop-ups, international cuisine, and fun for the whole family — kids attend free.
Special guests include Major League Baseball stars Howard Johnson, Mookie Wilson, and Dwight Gooden (New York Mets); and Ray Negron, Roy White, and Jim Leyritz (New York Yankees).
“The Harrison PBA is honored and grateful for our ongoing relationship with The Nick Loeb Foundation. Their generous support eases the financial burden of college and inspires our members’ children to pursue academic and personal goals that reflect the Foundation’s values. The Foundation’s ‘Party for the Police’ is a wonderful opportunity for our officers to connect with the community in a meaningful way,” said Detective Antony Salov of the Harrison Police Dept.
All proceeds from this year’s event will directly support scholarships for the children of police officers, particularly those who align with the foundation’s values of service, community, and integrity. Departments that will receive money include the City of White Plains, Town of Harrison in New York, and the Town of Greenwich, Connecticut.
“The Greenwich Police Department takes great pride in the collaborations it has fostered with the community. The Nick Loeb Foundation’s Party With The Police party is a prime illustration of community support,” Greenwich Police Chief James Heavey said.

Loeb brings a lifelong passion for building stronger, better-informed communities through events, storytelling, and philanthropy.
“Our officers put their lives on the line to serve our communities every day, and yet many of their families struggle to afford the rising costs of higher education,” said Loeb, founder of The Nick Loeb Foundation, adding, “Through this event, we’re not only showing appreciation—we’re providing real support that opens doors for the next generation. It’s personal for me. I’ve dedicated much of my life to supporting education, starting with scholarships in high school, and I’m proud to continue that mission by helping the children of first responders achieve their academic dreams.”
