Earlier this month, Brandon attended the Washington State Nonprofit Conference in Tacoma, hosted by the Nonprofit Association of Washington. Our team also had the opportunity to participate in the virtual conference sessions and learn alongside nonprofit organizations from across Washington.

It was encouraging to hear the stories, challenges, and successes of so many organizations dedicated to serving their communities. We are grateful for opportunities like these that allow us to learn, connect, and grow.

We're also excited to share that Behind the Badge Foundation is now a member of the Nonprofit Association of Washington. We look forward to being part of this network and continuing to build relationships with others who are committed to making a difference.

Thank you, NAWA, for bringing nonprofits together and fostering a spirit of collaboration throughout our state.

Some competitors hit every target. Brian kept everyone humble. 😆

The 2nd Annual Sporting Clay Competition at Landt Farms Sporting Clays, hosted in partnership with the Washington State Sheriffs’ Association and Seattle's Finest Security and Traffic Control, was a huge success. Blue skies, shattered clays, great competition, and an even better community made for an incredible day in support of our mission of Serving Those Who Serve®.

A huge thank you to our major sponsors, Group Murr and MacKay Manufacturing, along with our other event sponsors, Landt Farms, Raleigh and the team at Seattle’s Finest, the competitors, volunteers, and everyone from the Sheriff’s Association who helped make this event possible

Honor Guard service is more than ceremony. It is tradition, discipline, service, and the sacred responsibility of honoring our fallen.
