The monies raised from Casino Royale Night will be used to make a difference in young people’s lives. While most children are taught values in the home, not all children have the benefit of such upbringing. It is this group of children who are most likely to assume negative societal roles; roles rooted in neglect or lack of concern. This shaky foundation leaves some children unsure of what is right or wrong, and that so often leads to bad choices and destructive outcomes. Breaking the cycle that leads youths to criminal behavior requires an effort by all.
The "Shop with a Cop" program is designed to help effect beneficial change. By teaching respect, building trust and friendship, as well as instilling values, we hope to do our part. Violence can be curbed. Children’s lives may be spared. Communities may be made safer.

This is a holiday event sponsored by The Kiwanis Club of Greater Napa, The Napa Target Store# 1026 and the City of Napa Police Department Youth Services Bureau. With your help we are hoping to allow at least 100 of Napa’s neediest youth the experience of shopping for holiday presents for their immediate family members with some of “Napa’s Finest” on Saturday, December 15, 2012.
Most of the youth targeted have not had the experience of shopping for family members during the holiday season. For many this will be a first, as a result, many of these youth have not experienced the joy of giving unconditionally. This experience could be life-changing for some.
Please feel free to contact Toni McIntosh at (707)373-8707 or (707)257-9262 or tmcintosh@cityofnapa.org with any questions or to purchase tickets for this event: $40.00 per person gives you the opportunity to enjoy delicious food, wine, music, casino games (includes $25.00 of casino chips) with the chance to participate in the Raffle for amazing prizes, and a bidding number for the Silent Auction.
