The goal of this event is to build awareness surrounding the importance of officer wellness, to combat the stigma associated with officers and mental health, and to fundraise for this important cause. We anticipate 1000 attendees from both the law enforcement and civilian communities.
Fundraising proceeds will directly support Illinois Law Enforcement mental health treatment and training programs.
On behalf of Bank The Blue, we want to thank you for your support and look forward to celebrating with you!
