The Belleair Community Foundation (BCF) is teaming up with the Doyle Family to produce Belleair’s “must-attend” event of the year, the “Honor the Blue Tribute – Boogie for the Blue.”

Event creators will transform the Belleview Biltmore Golf Club is into a state-of-the-art disco, complete with sophisticated club-like lounge setting, a Titos martini fountain, craft beer, gourmet hors 'doeuvres, high-end raffle prizes and more.

The event was developed by the BCF Executive Board and a subcommittee of Belleair resident volunteers who recognized the need for additional funds to fortify the Belleair Police Department. The BCF’s volunteers and supporters are producing an ultra-chic evening celebration to raise money to help the department purchase items otherwise not covered in the town’s departmental budget.

“We are thrilled to debut the BCF’s first annual fundraising event with our partners, the Doyle Family,” says Karla Rettstatt, President, Belleair Community Foundation. “This signature event marks the beginning of what we hope will become an esteemed Belleair tradition for our members, residents and guests for years to come.”

Event sponsors include The Doyle Family, Arv Hickerson, Shannon and Randy Ware, Boos Development, Inc., Pinch A Penny, Bella Vino Wine and Cheese Market, Cheryl Franzese - Coastal Properties Group International, Urbancoast, Conceptbait, and Pro-Signature America.

Belleair Police Chief Bill Sohl explains the impact of resident’s support on his squad. “I’ve worked with a lot of Police Departments across the country and don’t know of any that enjoy the support shown by the residents of Belleair.”

The generosity of Belleair Community Foundation members will help us provide better service in a number of ways that range from communications to traffic enforcement,” says Sohl.
