We have chosen New Year’s Eve to remind us that police officers all over this country are working and not with their families. We honor them and all those that have worn the badge with honor and dignity by starting the New Year healthy, sober and safe. We remember that no matter how bad things are, there can be a new beginning. Vivian Eney Cross, Survivor said "It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived". Each officer on the back of the t-shirt was a hero to someone.

All runners receive a shirt that can be individualized if the form is received at least two weeks in advance. Many of our runners have an officer’s name on their back that holds a special meaning to them. If you have a team name that too will be placed on the back.

Fundraising for the hotline is greatly appreciated. The Top 5 teams and 5 top individual runners that raise the most money will be acknowledged that evening at the Point Pleasant Beach NJ Boardwalk where this year’s event starts and finishes. All sponsors at the patrolman level and above will have their logos on each shirt. Feel free to form a team or run as an individual. All money goes to CopLine® Inc. to fund trainings of peer listeners and software that is needed to support the lines. CopLine® is a 501(c)3 so all donations are tax deductible.
