David Lerner Associates, a privately held securities broker dealer headquartered in Syosset, New York, announced that the 28th Annual David Lerner Associates Long Island Police Appreciation Run will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York. The event is intended to help raise awareness of the invaluable service Long Island’s law enforcement provided each community and to support the Police Crisis Fund, which provides assistance to Nassau and Suffolk County law enforcement officers and their families in times of crisis. All proceeds will go toward the Police Crisis Fund.


“The David Lerner Associates Police Appreciation Run has become a celebrated Long Island tradition and provides support for the local police officers who serve our communities,” said John Dempsey, president of David Lerner Associates. “The Police Crisis Fund is a great cause, and one that David Lerner Associates and its staff is passionate about enhancing. This will be the 28th year that we are sponsoring this tremendous event, and we are thrilled with the participation and excitement it generates each year. We encourage everyone to come on June 6, whether you are running or not, to show your support for Long Island’s police officers.”

The Police Crisis Fund has helped many families of police officers who have been fighting through emergency situations. Last year, more than 16,000 runners participated and raised more than $325,000 for the Fund.
