The Loss Prevention Benevolent Fund Raises $6400 at the 2019 RILA Asset Protection Conference

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) once again partnered with The Loss Prevention Benevolent Fund to raise money for loss prevention professionals who are seriously injured and the families of those who lose their life while conducting the duties of their profession.

This year’s fundraiser was a huge success, which culminated in a drawing for valuable prizes during RILA’s Retail Asset Protection Conference, May 5-8, 2019 in Denver, CO. During the conference, the Fund raised $4,700 in individual contributions, as well as $1,700 from two solution providers, ThinkLP ($700) and Checkpoint ($1,000), for a grand total of $6,400, making this one of the most successful campaigns yet.

The Loss Prevention Benevolent Fund, originally formed in 2012 by the LPF under the name Loss Prevention Memorial Fund, provides financial assistance to the families of fallen asset protection professionals who lost their lives while performing the duties of their jobs. 100% of contributions go directly to the retail asset protection community.

The Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF) and RILA’s Retail Asset Protection Conference have successfully partnered for six years in a row to raise money for the Loss Prevention Benevolent Fund. It is through these generous gifts and donations that the Loss Prevention Benevolent Fund is able to continue to provide meaningful charitable grants to loss prevention professionals and their families when it matters the most.

This is the third consecutive year ThinkLP has demonstrated their support of the LPBF and continuing to give back to our industry.

Checkpoint, for the second year in a row, also continues their support by donating $1000 to the LPBF and supporting the Loss Prevention professionals in their times of need.
