We were thrilled to bring our Home Watch conference to Clermont, FL. I was a day of positive encouragement, education and equipping our LE families to thrive. Special thanks to @clermontpd @survive_first_ @criticalk_aspects and to all those who attended!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT ATTENDED BOOTS 4 BLUE 2024
at the Hillenbrand Farmhaus Brewery in Newcastle, CA!
This year's event was held at the Hillenbrand Farmhaus Brewery in Newcastle, CA. This wonderful evening included a visit from our friends in the Placer County Sheriff's Department Helicopter crew, a solemn moment reflecting upon and honoring several area officers that gave their all for our communities, and attendees heard first hand accounts of the work How 2 Love Our Cops does to support law enforcement families and individuals.
Thank you to our sponsors of this year's event!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT MADE THIS EVENT A HUGE SUCCESS!
How 2 Love Our Cops and Thrive10-35.partnered together to support the How 2 Love Our Cops mission and work in Northern California and across the United States.
This first of its kind event was held at the beautiful D’Agostini Winery in Plymouth, CA and included an opportunity to enjoy their specialty wines, dinner, and presentations by locally elected law enforcement officials that shared their experiences in the area and the importance of community relationships for safe and healthy departments and communities.

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!
