Join us for a delicious luncheon celebrating the heroes who keep Atlantic City safeAbout this Event
You are cordially invited to the 2026 Annual Atlantic City Hero luncheon supporting the Atlantic City Police Foundation at Council Oak Steak & Seafood, at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, on Friday, October 16, 2026 from 12 p.m. until 2 p.m. Those that attended our prior sold-out events enjoyed the hospitality of our venue and celebrated our honorees.
The Foundation will recognize ACPD Detective Marquez Jones and Sgt. Christian Ivanov, who were wounded by gunfire while serving a search warrant in Atlantic City on June 2, 2026. The Foundation will also honor Officer Robert Reynolds, who stopped the assailant. The three officers will be recognized alongside AtlantiCare trauma surgeons Dr. Kelly Willman, Dr. Stephen Dudick and Dr. Robyn Guinto, and others on the trauma team, who will receive the Foundation’s Hero Award in recognition of their extraordinary medical care and lifesaving efforts.
We are pleased to host this event at Council Oak Steak & Seafood, at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, known for its charitable works, joins in partnership with the Atlantic City Police Foundation in saluting regional leaders who have given back to the public safety community. Our Hero luncheon will raise funds for non-budgeted Atlantic City Police Department equipment, programs and initiatives. The talented Council Oak team have planned a delicious menu and look forward to welcoming you.
