Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
I am excited to participate in the 37th Annual The Ben to the Shore, which supports the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation! I am riding with my cousins, Becky and Brandon, in memory of their dad — my Uncle and Battalion Chief John Garrow. Uncle John passed away unexpectedly after a medical event while on duty this February, 2024. The Philadelphia Fire Department has shown unbelievable gestures of respect and community to Uncle John and my family during this difficult time. After 32 years of service, I know Uncle John would be proud for us to be supporting this cause in his memory.
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.
