Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
All kidding aside, we often wonder, when we make a donation, where it goes? When it comes to the Families Behind the Badges, I can tell you! I personally witnessed it when the Philadelphia Fire Dept. suffered the Line of Duty Death of LT. Sean Williamson (a friend, classmate #168, and a teammate on PA-TF1), The Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation Executive Director, contacted me the morning Sean was killed to make arrangements to provide emergency funding to Sean’s family. I was blown away at how quickly they jumped into action and the passion they brought to assisting Sean's family... I am excited to participate in the 37th Annual The Ben to the Shore, which supports the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation!
The Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation (FBBCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to improving the lives of children in the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey area. We achieve this by providing necessary financial relief for the families of fallen or critically injured first responders (police officers, firefighters, EMTs) and cultivating positive relationships and interactions between police officers and the children in the communities they serve.
