SAN DIEGO (Press Release) – A fundraiser to benefit the William B. Kolender Sheriff’s Museum in Old Town San Diego will be held Thursday evening, Sept. 23, at the Air and Space Museum in Balboa Park with regular tickets at $95 per person, and premium tickets going for up to $5,000 per person.
Magic will be the theme of the event with Mark and Sheila Cannon performing some Houdini-style escapes that the retired sheriff no doubt is pleased inmates at the county jails never learned how to do.
A wide variety of individuals and organizations have signed on as sponsors of the salute to Kolender, who was the first Jew to serve both as San Diego Police Chief and as the elected County Sheriff. Among the committee members are Sheriff Bill Gore and his wife Natalie; Cushman Family Foundation, Nancy Bartlett; Dr. Jamul Habib, George and Abeer Hage, Leo Hamel, Jeff Moorad, Staci Renshaw, Dean Spanos, the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, Mike Nesbit, Robin Callaway, Fred Grand, Marilee How, Arnold Korey, Mark Lyons, Arnold and Billie Silva, Bud and Diane Silva, Dorothy Strout, Julie Sutton, Daniel Walsh and David Zolezzi.
Others are William Lynch, Marian and KIim Krosner, Virginia Napierskie, Sycuan Resort & Casino, and the Barona Resort & Casino.
