In an extremely generous gesture to offset the cost of replacing fitness equipment in the Beachwood Police Department’s fitness center, a $20,000 gift was extended by the Beachwood 100. This organization is composed of caring citizens whose annual tax deductible dues are used solely to create a contingency fund to aid Beachwood’s police and fire safety forces during times of personal emergencies and other needs.
