The Police Benevolent Foundation is a nonprofit that supports families of police officers killed in the line of duty. They also fund scholarships for children of police officers, and educate law enforcement officers and their families about PTSD and suicide prevention.
We want to have as many of our members competing as possible, to push each other and support this amazing charity. Are you trying to decide between competing and volunteering? Our answer: compete! Bonus: if you have never competed before, this is a perfect opportunity for your first time. You'll be in a familiar space surrounded by familiar people.
The competition is two-person same-gender teams only. There are Rx and scaled divisions:
Male/Male Rx
Male/Male Scaled
Female/Female Rx
Female/Female Scaled
If you don't want to compete, we'd love to have you as a volunteer.
