This year, Homeland Security Division hosted the Department’s 38th Annual Ladies
Night Charity Event!
Initially begun years ago as a small gathering of female co-workers, Ladies Night has
evolved into one of the largest social charity events for the Los Angeles County
Sheriff’s Department.
The 1970s-themed gala took place on Thursday evening, October 23, 2014, at the Rio
Hondo Golf Course Clubhouse. Over 300 personnel participated and raised over
$10,000 for this year’s charity recipient, the Special Olympics. Special Olympics
Global Messenger and athlete, Krystal Sylvia, attended Ladies Night and received a
check for Special Olympics, presented by 2014 Ladies Night Chairperson, Lieutenant
Tracy De Mello, assigned to Aero Bureau; Law Enforcement Torch Run Director,
Lieutenant Kim Unland, assigned to East Patrol Division; and Ladies Night Committee
Member, Sergeant Britta Kjellstrand, assigned to the Community Oriented Policing
Services (COPS) Bureau.
The Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults
with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more
than 4.2 million athletes in 170 countries. Special Olympics competitions are held
every day, all around the world—including local, national and regional competitions,
adding up to more than 70,000 events a year.
Throughout the entire evening, Ladies Night offered an array of talented entertainment,
including actor Eric Estrada, universally known for his role as Officer Frank ‘Ponch’
Poncherello in the 1970s TV hit series “CHiPs.” Mr. Estrada donated his time to
attend the social hour of the event and graciously took photos with participants and
fans.
The patio entertainment and DJ was saxophone sensation, J. Boykin, who has
appeared on the “Oprah” show. Several disco dancers from “Liz Watts and Company”
gave an outstanding performance and taught the ladies steps to the popular 1970s
disco-era dance, “The Hustle.”
The charity event was a complete success! The ladies of the Department shared their
commitment to the community and the love of mankind, all while celebrating with old
friends and meeting new friends to raise money for a worthy cause.
