On August 22, 2016, Albertsons and Tom Thumb
stores presented a check for $417,953.90
to the Dallas Police Department in an
Appreciation Night. This event was in honor
of the five fallen officers from the attacks
downtown on July 7, 2016. Just days after the
attack on Dallas Police Officers, Albertsons
and Tom Thumb started a collection of
donations from customers. In a mere two
weeks and two days, they were able to achieve
this generous donation. The event was held at
the Jack Evans Dallas Police Headquarters,
where Albertsons and Tom Thumb provided
dinner to all attendees.
The Dallas Police Department would like to
thank the President of Albertsons and Tom
Thumb, Dennis Bassler, and his staff. We would
also like to thank all the representatives
from every major sports team in Dallas who
were in attendance as well as the Master
of Ceremonies, Chris Arnold. We truly
appreciate your support!
