The Blue Nite Gala is an annual event to fund the Saint Paul Police Foundation and their work to support the police department. Since 2005, the foundation has provided more than $6 million in support to the Saint Paul Police Department. The Foundation depends entirely on the generosity of corporations, individuals, foundations, and other philanthropic organizations for project and operating budgets. Our police department depends on the foundation to support programs that enhance the community. The Foundation is the primary vehicle for tax-exempt gifts and grants from individuals, businesses, and philanthropies for the Saint Paul Police Department.
