Dear Supporter,
I’m excited to announce a fun and exhilarating new event in support of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund — the Law Enforcement Ride & Run to Remember, taking place on Sunday, October 16, 2011.
This inaugural event is designed to celebrate and raise awareness about the role of law enforcement in our communities and raise funds to support and honor law enforcement officers.
It includes:
- metric century: 62-mile bike ride for advanced cyclists;
- half metric century: 31-mile bike ride for intermediate cyclists;
- quarter metric century: 15-mile bike ride for beginning cyclists;
- 5k run/walk; and
- a family festival.
Because of your past support, I’m inviting you to register at the early bird discounted rate of only $25. Register today at www.RideAndRunToRemember.org. Don’t wait to register — the early bird discount expires at the end of June.
Every 53 hours, a law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty. So in addition to the registration fee, we ask that participants make a minimum fundraising commitment of $53 as a symbolic tribute and reminder of the sacrifices made by America’s fallen law enforcement heroes.
Whether you are a law enforcement officer, know someone who is, or simply respect the work our officers do to keep us safe — this event is for you. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to show your appreciation and to participate in an exciting event for all ages!
I hope to see you on October 16th at the Law Enforcement Ride & Run to Remember!
Sincerely,
Craig W. Floyd
Chairman and CEO
