All proceeds from the Run to Remember benefit the Illinois Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors, an organization that helps families of fallen officers to live, love, and renew life.
Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors Inc. (C.O.P.S.)
Each year, between 140 and 160 officers are killed in the line of duty and their families and co-workers are left to cope with the tragic loss. C.O.P.S. provides resources to help them rebuild their shattered lives. There is no membership fee to join C.O.P.S., for the price paid is already too high.
The Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families of law enforcement officers killed in the line-of-duty as determined by Federal criteria. Illinois C.O.P.S. provides emotional and financial support as well as legal assistance to survivors of fallen officers.
Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors responds after line-of-duty deaths to support the surviving family members. We offer support as long as needed to all survivors. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a years, support is just a phone call away.
Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors is a state chapter of the national organization and is dependent on charitable donations and fundraisers. Illinois C.O.P.S. is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are tax deductible according to current IRS regulations. Illinois C.O.P.S. does not use telemarketers or phone solicitation at any time or in any way! All contributions directly benefit the families of fallen law enforcement officers in Illinois.
Join Five Points Washington’s 1st Annual Pickleball Tournament as we support The BRIDGE Education Foundation and their Paint the Path event.
Five Points Cares is teaming up with the BRIDGE Education Foundation for this year’s Paint the Path event! Come together with neighbors to celebrate creativity and local talent. In addition to the mural painting at Paint the Path, we’ll be hosting a Student Art Fair showcasing the work of young artists, and a Pickleball Tournament for a variety of ages. Head to The BRIDGE Education Foundation’s website to learn more about Paint the Path.
The Pickleball Tournament will hold two different age divisions. Each team is 2 people and divisions are decided by combining the ages of the two teammates. If the combined age is over 120 years, you will be in the Over 120 Years division and if the combined ages is less than 120, you will be in the Under 120 Years division. All participants must be at least 18 to register for the tournament.
