In October 2021, H2LOC held a spectacular event in the farmlands of South Sacramento. We ate amazing BBQ fare catered by Ingram Eatz, had a line dancing lesson, spent money on amazing raffle prizes and silent auction items, received a report of what H2LOC accomplished the last two years, and then enjoyed a private concert by Brodie Stewart. The night concluded with fireworks!!!
In September 2023, the How 2 Love Our Cops team gathered again in the farmlands outside of South Sacramento, with our local supporters to hold our annual Boots 4 Blue BBQ. the night included a delicious dinner, live music by Moonshine Crazy and the evening ended with our traditional fireworks.
We encourage, educate and facilitate community on this full day of instruction, connection, good food, and surprises.
March 2019 was our first conference in Sacramento, California and attended by over 160 women and men.
We were able to continue this event in 2022 with Spouse events in both Sacramento and Maine, serving over 250 men and women.
In April 2024, Home Watch was held in Roseville, CA with Cattaraugus County (NY) Sheriff Tim & his wife Michelle Whitcomb & Kevin Thompson, Marriage Life Pastor at Bayside Church and author.
How 2 Love Our Cops was chosen to participate in the 2024 Big Day of Giving (BDOG) a 24-hour giving celebration from the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. The regional effort inspires people to support causes they love in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties. This year's donations from across the area surpassed $100 million raised since it began in 2013.
THANK YOU to the donors that gave generously to help us continue our mission to reach and support our law enforcement families with peer support, educational resources, and encouragement events.
Your support during this special fundraising period was crucial and greatly appreciated. Together, we can ensure that our law enforcement families receive the support they need to thrive.
Held during Veteran's Day weekend, this event is our bi-annual fundraiser. This event is more than your typical fundraiser we take this opportunity to incorporate education, encouragement, therapeutic humor, honor to our cops and military, and always some great surprises for our guests.
Our Inaugural Gala was held November 9, 2018, just 36 hours after the Camp Fire hit in nearby Paradise, California. Many of those who bought tickets for the event could not make it because of the fire--it was completely demolishing an entire town, and our officers were on mandatory tactical alert. The event was a welcome temporary distraction for a few hours for those who did attend--the night put the FUN in fundraiser. Bling, amazing raffle and silent auction items, incredible desserts, amazing food accompanied with musical themes of cop shows and movies, photo booth, and more. Truly a night to remember. 2019 continued that tradition and did not disappoint.
Due to COVID restrictions and venue shutdown, our 2020 Hearts for Blue Gala was cancelled; however, we are excited to bring back our valued tradition this year with a Roaring 20s themed event for 2022!
You do not want to miss this event.
