Hope Beyond the Badge 5K (Run / Walk) for First Responder and Families

The Alex G. Kokoros Memorial Fund - and H.O.P.E Beyond the Badge foundation offer Hope, Comfort, and Support to First Responders and their Families when Stress, Trauma, and Mental Health Challenges create personal and familial struggle. Together we are helping to destigmatize conversations around First Responder Trauma, and making it easier for First Responders and their Families to seek Help.

Join us in a 5K Run/Walk to benefit First Responders and their Families.  

Culturally competent First Responder mental health & wellness programs will be on site and available to provide information about the services they provide.
