Paulding Public Safety Appreciation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization created to “Honor Those Who Protect Us”. PPSA’s goal is to help provide financial assistance to the protectors of our community during a time of need. The money that is raised goes toward public safety personnel residing and/or working in Paulding County.

The annual PPSA Day is the largest Public Safety event and public safety fundraiser in West Georgia. Through this annual event, along with our 5K Glow Run in the Spring, we hope to assist and promote the well-being of those who have experienced life changing and or life threatening circumstances in the line of duty or an unexpected incident. We hope to also provide assistance to the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our safety.

PPSA Day will also have “inflatable bouncies” in the Kid’s Zone and many food vendors if you get hungry. Once the festival ends, the Dallas Martin Band will give a free concert in the amphitheater of Veteran’s Park. Remember, as always, admission to PPSA day is free.
