Kimber donates 75k to LAPD Memorial Fund

Good for them – Kimber has made a donation of $40,000 to the Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation. This donation was presented at SHOT SHOW 2009, and when added to their 2008 donation of $35,000 makes up $75,000 donated from Kimber to the Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation. The LAPD Memorial Foundation serves as the foundation of the department’s “Wellness Program”, which provides services to officers and their families who have experienced “catastrophic” events.

The funds donated to the Memorial Foundation are based on sales of the Kimber SIS pistol, which was designed for LAPD’s Special Investigations Section after LAPD SWAT officers (who also carry Kimber pistols) put detectives from SIS in contact with Kimber.
