Soledad Hot Summer Days (2023)
The Soledad Police Department Explorer Program is designed for young men and women to develop skills and knowledge needed to serve the people of Soledad and prepare them for a bright future in public safety. We are extremely proud of this program as it has helped the youth of our city keep on a positive path and to support their future.
For that reason, the City of Soledad, Soledad Police Department, The Soledad Recreation Department, Crusaders Car Club, and F & M Auto Repair are once again putting together the “Soledad Hot Summer Days” fundraiser. The event is anticipated to be a huge success where we anticipated hundreds of people coming to see over 300 cars, be part of the community, and to support the Explorers Program.
We are very excited for the opportunity to raise funds for this crucial program that will benefit the youth of our community and we would like your support to ensure that this event is a success. We could not do this work without the generous support of individuals like you. Any donation made to the Explorers Program is tax deductible. Donations may be made to Soledad Police Dept. Youth Prevention Program, P.O. Box 606, Soledad, CA 93960. The tax I.D. is #77-0085498.
We are grateful for your support, and we hope we can count on your donation and presence during our Hot Summer Days that will be taking place on July 8th from 11am to 6pm along Front Street in Soledad.
