Raffle Fundraising and Police Unity Tour Ride Hand in Hand
The Police Unity Tour is riding strong across the U.S.A., raising funds and bringing public awareness of Police Officers who have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices.
A very worthwhile cause indeed.
In May 1997 the Police Unity Tour was organized, by Officer Patrick P. Montuore of the Florham Park Police Department.
What started with 18 riders on a four-day fund-raising bicycle ride from Florham Park, NJ to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. has grown into 8 Chapters consisting of nearly 1700 members nationwide who make the trip annually.
Although based in New Jersey, the Police Unity Tour now boasts members from all other states as well as other countries. In addition to having members represent over 40 states there are also members from Australia, England, Israel, Italy, India and Canada.
Last year they were able to donate over 1.72 Million Dollars to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, bringing total donations to nearly 14 Million Dollars.
Many chapters of this organization are now supplementing their fundraising activities by selling raffle tickets for raffle fundraising.
We salute and support the organizers and participants of this fantastic cause.
