Help from Surf City is on the way to the Big Apple just in time for

the holidays.

A delegation from the Huntington Beach Police Officers Assn. will be

flying to New York in December to present a check for $90,000 to the New

York Police and Fire Department Relief Funds established in the aftermath

of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the city.

The association began selling the “End of Watch” T-shirts a few days

following the attacks to support relief efforts in New York, and sales

quickly snowballed.

“I’m amazed at how quick, by word of mouth, news traveled,” said

Senior Police Officer Jeff Huss.

But Huss isn’t satisfied with the money raised so far, he would like

to raise more.

The group has fallen short of its goal of $100,000, Huss said, but he

hopes people will still buy shirts before officers fly east next month.

T-shirts are still available for $10 by calling (714) 842-8851.
