Sheriff’s Office Car & Bike Show Moves to Virtual Format

As the number of COVID cases in the city, Commonwealth and nation rise due to the Delta variant, the Newport News Sheriff’s Office (NNSO) has made the difficult decision to cancel its planned in-person Car and Bike Show, which was scheduled for September 19. While Sheriff Gabe Morgan and the NNSO were looking forward to hosting this event and raising money for Project Lifesaver, concerns for the health and safety of attendees and staff led to the cancellation.   The NNSO is beginning to plan a virtual event. For more information, contact Lt. Patrick-Gross at patrickkl@nnva.gov and check the NNSO website for updates. The Car and Bike Show is an important fundraiser for the department’s Project Lifesaver, a rapid response program that reduces the potential of serious injury for adults and children who wander due to medical issues or disabilities. This fundraiser and donations from the public ensure Project Lifesaver is free for the more than 70 clients currently enrolled with the Newport News Sheriff’s Office. For details and information on how to enroll, visit the Project Lifesaver website.
