Why Contribute?
Proceeds from our annual run assist in maintaining “The Jeremy Bitner Fallen Officer Fund,” a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which offers financial assistance to the next of kin of any fallen officer acting in the line of duty in the State of Colorado. All proceeds raised stay in Colorado and benefit those in our community who are affected by these tragic and untimely losses.
Since 2013, the fund has supported the families of these fallen officers:
- Sgt. Baldwin – Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office
- Sgt. Renfro – Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office
- Trooper Taylor Thyfault – Colorado State Patrol
- Officer Kevin Denner – Littleton Police Department
- Officer Garrett Swasey – UCCS Police Department
- Trooper Jaimie Jursevics – Colorado State Patrol
- Deputy Derek Geer – Mesa County Sheriff’s Office
- Deputy Nate Carrigan – Park County Sheriff’s Office
- Deputy Travis Russell – Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office
- Trooper Cody Donahue – Colorado State Patrol
- Deputy Zackari Parrish – Douglas County Sheriff’s Office
- Deputy Heath Gumm – Adams County Sheriff’s Office
- Deputy Micah Flick – El Paso County Sheriff’s Office
- Sgt. Matthew Moreno – Las Animas County Sheriff’s Office
- Corporal Dan Groves – Colorado State Patrol
Additionally, the fund provides assistance annually to Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS) and Judi’s House – organizations that provide bereavement programs for the families of fallen officers.
