In the Summer of 2016, five police officers were brutally executed in Dallas, Texas. As Jim McDavid, the Golf 4 Cops founder, sat in his truck listening to the radio commentary, it hit him like a ton of bricks. In that moment, he made the decision to throw his time and resources behind our men and women in blue. Through in-depth research, he discovered that there were very few charities that support law enforcement families, and the money raised was very small in comparison to other notable charities.
Every day, our law enforcement officers wake up, say goodbye to their families, and head to work uncertain as to whether or not they will return home. They put everything on the line each time they clock in. Today, the risk is higher than ever. Yet, without complaining, these brave men and women put on a badge and protect our way of life. They are more than just police officers; they are husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, family and friends. When an officer loses their life, the effect on their family is catastrophic. There is emotional devastation to the family, not to mention the massive financial burden.
In 7 years, The McDavid Group Charities through their annual event, Golf for COPS, has helped and supported numerous families of fallen law enforcement. Together, they have generated $4.2 Million in scholarship funds and support towards hands-on programs and counseling. Everyone that participates in Golf for COPS does so out of their passion for law enforcement and those families that paid the ultimate sacrifice. This is a charity that everyone can sink their teeth into.
Please join us in this powerful cause and let the families of our fallen officers know that they are not alone, that their sacrifice will not be forgotten, and that they will not be forgotten. The McDavid Group Charities is currently supported by major donors and vendors such as FootJoy, Stitch, Wyndham Grand Hotels, Trump National Jupiter Golf Club, Trump International West Palm Beach Golf Club, Tequesta Country Club, Swannies Golf Apparel, and Martin Dingman-Leather Goods to name a few.
The stories are heart wrenching; this is our opportunity to give back and recognize the families left behind. Please join us on December 8 $& 9, 2024. More details to follow.
