Application deadline to host a neighborhoodBBQ: July 28
By Antioch Police Department
Join the Antioch Police Department for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 4, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
National Night Out is a great opportunity for neighbors to come together, build relationships, and strengthen our community while partnering with the Antioch Police Department.
According to the NATW (National Association of Town Watch) website, introduced in August of 1984, NNO is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. NNO enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
Millions of neighbors take part in NNO across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
Host a NeighborhoodBBQ
Antioch neighborhoods planning to host a BBQ with 15 or more attendees qualify for a $100 grocery store gift card to help support their event. Sponsorships are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration is now open for the 16th Annual Antioch PAL Golf Tournament—a day of golf that directly supports youth programs through the Antioch Police Activities League.
Whether you’re signing up as an individual golfer, bringing a foursome, or sponsoring the event, your participation helps provide positive opportunities for local youth.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and community partners looking to make an impact while gaining visibility throughout the event.
