Donations and Sponsorships
Friends of the Bethlehem Mounted Police: A Not-for-Profit Corporation Supporting the Bethlehem Mounted Patrol Unit.
Through your generosity and community support, Friends of the Bethlehem Mounted Police (FBMP) is able to financially support the horses of the Bethlehem Mounted Patrol relieving city taxpayers from any tax burden for their care. FBMP is proud to provide these horses to the City of Bethlehem Police Department for their use in protecting and serving the community.
Adopt-a-Horse.
The Adopt-A-Horse (AAH) program provides opportunities for local businesses, corporations, clubs, and private individuals to sponsor one of the Unit’s horses. The AAH sponsorships are a three-year commitment (approximately $5,000 per year) that help to cover a considerable portion of the yearly operational costs associated with each horse to include feed, hay, bedding, equipment, shoeing, and routine veterinary care. Email us below for more information for the Adopt-a-Horse program.
