As such, the Alumni Association has created a set of committees designed to support these goals. A description of each committee is listed in the left-hand column. RAAA welcomes the active involvement of its members and as such is always looking for more Alums to serve on these committees so they can share their talents and knowledge with their fellow peers.

Adopt-A-Family Nominations Welcome!
Due Friday, September 27th!
Please send your nominations to Shardal at Shardal.Rose@baltimorepolice.org
Include a Nominations Paragraph (see more below).
Every year, RAAA alumni are invited to nominate a family that has been impacted by crime this past year. Nominations are sent in, the board votes. Once the family/families are chosen, we talk with the adults in the home to find out what the children may want and/or need. At times, gift cards are given to the adult in the home to make sure the holiday is a little bit more special for the children this holiday season.
Nomination Paragraph:
Include in your paragraph, a little bit about what the family may have gone through over the last year or so, and how helping them this holiday season would be meaningful to them. Please be aware the paragraph will be shared with RAAA Committee members. We want the family to be comfortable with the sharing their story.
You can nominate more than one family.
Thank you for taking the time to nominate a family! We truly appreciate your participation.
~ Most sincerely, RAAA Board members
