Don't Forget to Purchase Tickets for the 2023 LENS Fundraising Banquet!
The IOP Law Enforcement Neighborhood Support (LENS) Program is a charity organization under the Isle of Palms Community Corporation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. LENS aims to provide law enforcement with support to strengthen community relations and improve public safety on IOP. Each year, LENS hosts a banquet to honor the IOPPD and celebrate National Police Week. In addition to the Wild Dunes Resort, a Founding Member of LENS, “Explore Charleston” is also returning as the Banquet's Platinum Sponsor and our new reception sponsor is “Coastal Marinas.” Delicato Family Wines will again be our wine sponsor and special contributor.
