A Night for DERO

Join the Beverly Police Benevolent Association as we support one of our own. Jay Derobertis a 16 year Beverly Police veteran was recently diagnosed with a disabling disease. As a result of this disease he will be unable to resume his career as a Police Officer. In support of Jay and his family proceeds from this event and its auctions will be donated to them to help them cope with their needs as well as the medical costs associated with his treatment. One percent of the proceeds will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. A $20 dollar donation can be made at the door. The event will feature a hot and cold buffet donated by Bill Gates of the French Club, DJ provided by Kevin Wood It's All About The Music, 50/50 raffle, and auction items provided by local businesses and donors. We hope to see you there!

Anyone wishing to donate items for auction can message Erik Jason on Facebook or email Erik Abrahamson at eabrahamson@beverlyma.gov

An account has been set up for the family at the Beverly Municipal Federal Credit Union at 139 Cabot St. Beverly Ma 01915 978-922-5254. The account is in the name Jay Derobertis for those wishing to donate that can't attend the event.
