Posted at 17:05h in NYCPF News by

The New York City Police Foundation was proud to host its Annual Gala at the iconic Intrepid Museum, bringing together nearly 1,000 supporters whose generosity fuels public safety programs and strengthens the bond between NYPD officers and the communities they serve.

We were honored to recognize the courageous, dedicated members of the NYPD and to celebrate our 2025 Gala Honoree, Raymond J. McGuire, who was presented the award by Police Foundation Chairman Dr. Philip O. Ozuah and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. A heartfelt thank you to award-winning journalist Rosanna Scotto for serving as this year’s emcee — and to the supporters who made the evening a success. This is how we are BuildingASaferCityTogether.
