The DeKalb Police Benevolent & Protective Association will hold its annual charity breakfast from 8 a.m. to noon on April 24 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 1336 E. Lincoln Highway.

The Police Benevolent & Protection Association was founded in 1936 to safeguard police pensions and lobby for legislation for the betterment of all law enforcement officers, and is the largest downstate police association consisting of approximately 195 units ranging from 1 man police departments to over a thousand, according to the City of DeKalb’s website.

The event will cost $5 for Adults, $2 for children 7-11 years old and children 6 and under are free.

Some of the money earned is donated to the community, like last years’ donation which went towards the Fairdale Tornado Relief Fund.
