The Virginia Beach Police Foundation announces plans to auction off old “No Cursing” signs that once adorned various locations in Hampton Roads. These iconic signs, which urged residents and visitors to mind their manners, are set to become unique collector’s items.
The “No Cursing” signs were originally installed as part of a campaign to promote civility and respectful behavior in public spaces. Over the years, these signs have become well-known fixtures in the community, sparking both support and controversy. With the signs no longer in active use, the Virginia Beach Police Foundation sees an opportunity to preserve a piece of local history while raising funds for important initiatives.
The auction aims to attract collectors, local residents, and anyone with a nostalgic connection to the Hampton Roads area. Proceeds from the auction will support the foundation’s efforts to enhance public safety, community engagement, and police-community relations in Virginia Beach.
Foundation representatives highlight the cultural significance of the signs, noting that they reflect a unique aspect of the region’s history and community values. The auction will provide a chance for individuals to own a tangible piece of this history while contributing to a worthy cause.
The exact date and details of the auction are expected to be announced soon. In the meantime, the foundation encourages those interested in participating to stay tuned for updates and prepare to bid on these distinctive signs.
The initiative has already garnered interest from potential buyers and local media, underscoring the enduring impact of the “No Cursing” campaign. As the auction approaches, the Virginia Beach Police Foundation anticipates a lively event that will celebrate community heritage and support ongoing public safety efforts.
