We are excited to announce that members of the Vernon PBA Local 285 are proudly preparing to participate in the upcoming Police Unity Tour—an event dedicated to honoring law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. For years, our committed members have been riding in this annual event, raising awareness and funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum.
The Police Unity Tour is more than just a physical journey; it represents a deep commitment to the fallen heroes who have dedicated their lives to protecting our communities. Our members embark on a rigorous cycling challenge, riding hundreds of miles to Washington, D.C., to pay their respects and ensure that these heroes are never forgotten. In addition to the demanding ride, each participant generously donates their own funds to kickstart the fundraising efforts.
Your ongoing support has been crucial to the success of this powerful initiative. Together, we’ve helped raise substantial funds that directly contribute to preserving the legacies of our nation’s officers and providing aid to their surviving families. We invite you to join us in this honorable cause once again, as we ride with purpose, unity, and a shared mission to remember the fallen.
