The event was a huge success attracting over 120 local participants from various regions of Connecticut. FindCTbiz would like to thank Police On Patrol for the opportunity of participating, as the event proved to be beneficially fulfilling in many respects. It was a pleasure to assist in raising money for a great cause and it turned out to be a terrific vehicle in terms of exposure for the FindCTbiz.com.  Definitely a win-win story.
