Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I am excited to participate for the second time in the 37th Annual The Ben to the Shore, which supports the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation!
Last year, I decided to ride with Team Traffic in honor of my father, Bob Bannan, a Philadelphia Police Officer in the Traffic Unit. My father retired in 2019. He passed away in 2022, due to Leukemia. In 1992, my father was shot in the line of duty. Thankfully, my father was able to survive his injury and we were able to have him with us for 30 more blessed years. However, not every police officer survives. Too many good people, good police officers fall to their injuries in the line of duty. This year, I ride in honor of Sgt. Carrero and Officer Lorenzo with Team Traffic!
The Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation (FBBCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to improving the lives of children in the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey area. We achieve this by providing necessary financial relief for the families of fallen or critically injured first responders (police officers, firefighters, EMTs) and cultivating positive relationships and interactions between police officers and the children in the communities they serve.
