Benefit evening presented by Rise Tampa to celebrate and support the Tampa Police Department.
A Night In Blue 2026 is coming to TPepin's Hospitality Centre on Friday, November 6, starting at 6 PM. It's an evening presented by Rise Tampa to celebrate and support the men and women of the Tampa Police Department, and the whole night is built around that.
Rise Tampa works under the motto "Supporting Those Who Protect & Serve," and that's not just a slogan. Every dollar raised at the event goes beyond city funding to support the foundation's pillars. One of those is specialized training and equipment for officers and professional staff, the kind of gear and instruction that doesn't always fit into a standard municipal budget. Another is wellness initiatives for officers, staff, and their families, which covers the mental and physical health side of the job. The third is TPD-led community outreach and engagement, with a particular focus on programs that benefit Tampa's youth.
When you see the name "A Night In Blue," the TPD is the main feature. The evening is about the people who work there—the officers and professional staff—and the community they serve. It's a benefit for Rise Tampa, so the money raised goes directly into those three areas: training, wellness, and youth-focused outreach. If you've got a connection to the department or just want to see where the money goes, those are the three things the night is supporting.
