Roseville's B-Dale Club Hosting Fundraiser Saturday for Police Bicycle Ride
Proceeds to benefit Law Enforcement United.
The B-Dale Club in Roseville will host a fundraiser today (Saturday) to benefit the Minnesota chapter of Law Enforcement United (LEU), an organization dedicated to honoring police officers who have died in in the line of duty.
The fundraiser will help support the Law Enforcement United Ride where officers from across the country gather to bicycle 250 miles from Virginia to Washington, D.C., to raise money and awareness for officers who have been killed on duty. The ride is set for May 10-13.
The B-Dale Club's fundraiser starts at 5 p.m. Saturday and goes until midnight. A $10 donation will get you beer, hot dogs, brats and pulled pork from 5 to 9 p.m. A silent auction is scheduled from 5 to 10 p.m. and live music from 9 p.m. to midnight. The Club is located 2100 Dale St., just south of County Road B.

Money raised through the bike ride (each officer must come up with $1,200 in donations) goes toward Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) and a kids’ camp for children whose parents have died while serving. The funds also help the Officer Down Memorial Page.
Last year, Roseville police officer Greg Levendoski participated in the LEU Bike Ride.

Levendoski joined more than 1,200 law enforcement officers from around the country—23 of which were from Minnesota—in a 250-mile bike ride from Virginia to Washington D.C. to raise money for family members and survivors of officers killed in the line of duty.
“I am always really proud to complete the ride,” Levendoski, a three-year veteran of the annual LEU bike ride, . “It is important not to forget the men and women in law enforcement that have given the ultimate sacrifice.”
