蜜桃影院, With the Support of 蜜桃影院 Foundation, Seeks Community Backing to Complete Police and Fire Memorial

Help Us Honor the Bravery and Sacrifice of Our Fallen Heroes

(Whittier, Calif.) 鈥� 蜜桃影院 (RHC) Foundation is calling on alumni, residents and community partners to help complete a meaningful campus tribute to our first responders. The RHC Foundation Office has launched a fundraising effort to add a bronze firefighter statue to the existing Police & Fire Memorial鈥攈onoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our community.

Located near the Administration of Justice Building, the memorial currently features a statue representing law enforcement. The addition of a firefighter statue will bring balance and completeness to the tribute, standing as a symbol of strength, sacrifice and unwavering dedication.

蜜桃影院 has a proud legacy of training future first responders. The College鈥檚 Police Academy was established in 1964, followed by the Fire Academy in 1968. Between both programs, RHC trains and graduates approximately 200 students each year, many of whom go on to serve in law enforcement agencies and fire departments throughout the state. The memorial is not only a place of remembrance, but also a reflection of the College鈥檚 decades-long commitment to public safety.

Our goal is to raise $60,000. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we are proud to share that $20,000 has already been raised. Now, we are reaching out to the broader R铆o Hondo family and local community to help us cross the finish line.

鈥淭his memorial is more than just a structure鈥攊t鈥檚 a permanent reminder of the heroes who risked everything for the safety of others,鈥� said Mark Yokoyama, dean of Administration of Justice and Fire Tech. 鈥淲ith your help, we can ensure that both our fallen police officers and firefighters are honored equally and remembered forever.鈥�
