Stamford Police Host Fundraiser for Sgt. Fighting Cancer

This December, members of the Stamford Police Department will come together to host a benefit for a 28-year veteran of the department who has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung, Brain and Bone cancer.

On December 10, members of the Stamford Police Association will host a fundraising benefit for Sergeant Terri Vitti at Zodie's 19th Hole, located at 451 Stillwater Avenue. For $25, there will be live music from Jump the Gunn, along with drink specials and food provided.

"Sergeant Terri Vitti has dedicated so much of her life to serving and protecting the people of Stamford," said Officer David Rodriguez, a coordinator of the event. "She has long been a rock of support for her fellow officers and a true role model. Now as she battles cancer, Stamford’s police officers are rallying to lend our collective strength to her and her husband, also a veteran Stamford Police Officer. We ask our fellow community members to turn out on December 10 and lend her your best wishes and support."

Vitti is a 28-year veteran of the department and has served in the Narcotics and Organized Crime Division, the Communications Division, and the SPA's executive board. Her husband, Officer Mark Vitti, serves with Stamford's K-9 Unit.
