Local First Responders need your help! First Responders have been severely challenged this past year. As we all struggled with the pandemic, first responders have been on the front line.

First responders have had to deal with increased acts of violence and negative public perceptions. In recent years we’ve had the worst wildfire seasons in history. These challenges are in addition to all the other ‘everyday’ community emergencies that our First Responders deal with. This has taken a toll as local first responders continue to battle for our safety.
In the endeavors of all our first responders, there is both a physical and emotional toll. With all they’ve endured, our first responders have suffered the effects, many suffering with Post Traumatic Stress.
They have continued through the challenges while they try to heal. The Fallen Officer Foundation stands ready to render aid to local first responders and their families. It’s a privilege to assist those who serve as guardians of our communities. With your help we can continue our mission.
Fallen Officer Foundation is a nonprofit, volunteer board 501c (3). The Foun- dation has been assisting First Responders since formed January 2004 after a law enforcement officer was critically injured suffering a traumatic brain injury when hit by a motorist.
He was newly married, and the couple needed financial support to provide the 24-hour care necessary to care for him at home. Since that time, the Foundation has assisted over 65 First Responders in crisis or special need.
Come join us for an evening of great food, wine, live music, and dancing to Lost Boys featuring James Durbin, Saturday, February 25, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Most importantly, please join local first responders to celebrate their work. Show your support and give a little back to our First Responders who serve us so valiantly.
