On May 9th, I will join hundreds of law enforcement officers from around the country who will bicycle along varying routes, each over 300 miles to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial (NLEOM) in Washington DC. This year, The Police Unity Tour – Southern California Chapter will have 75 police officers representing L.A.P.D., L.A. County Sheriff, Beverly Hills
P.D., Burbank P.D., Palos Verdes Estates P.D., Pasadena and Alhambra PD. Our route will take us from Portsmouth, Virginia to Fredericksburg, Virginia and on to Washington DC., where on May 13th a candlelight vigil will be held at the Memorial. On that night, the names of the officers who have died in the line of duty in 2009 will be read before a crowd of thousands.
The primary purpose of the Police Unity Tour is to raise awareness about the police officers that have died in the line of duty. In 2009, 120 Police Officers were killed in the line of duty across the United States. Our motto is, “We Ride For Those Who Died.” The secondary purpose is to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum. Since its’ inception in 1997, the Police Unity Tour has raised $5.3 million to support the NLEOM, with $1.3 million raised during last years’ annual Tour. Officers riding in the Tour must raise a minimum of $1,800. The Tour provides support services including over-night lodgings and food while we ride, however each officer must pay for their own transportation to and from the east coast as well as some meals and other miscellaneous expenses.
It is because of the incredible support of my friends, family and colleagues that I am able to participate in the Tour this year and not let the heroes who have died in the line of duty be forgotten. Once again I am asking for your financial support to allow me to ride in the Police Unity Tour. Donations to the Police Unity Tour, Inc. (a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, Tax ID#26-4384010) can be made through the Southern California Chapter website at socalput.com. A link on the right side of the webpage says Donate to a Rider. Once you click this button you will see a list of all riders. Please select Steve Dolan, Los Angeles Police Department. No amount is too small, and all donations are greatly appreciated!
Also if you know of anyone that would be willing to donate, or may be interested in this charity feel free to forward on the information.
Sincerely,
Steve Dolan
