Pierce County Police Unity Tour 2016

Gift Wrapping at Bass Pro Shops Tacoma

I want to thank all the people that came out to the Bass Pro Shop in Tacoma on Black Friday and

donated to out gift wrapping fundraiser!

We had a lot of fun meeting people and spreading the word on what the Police Unity Tour is all about. Dennis and Sgt. Marquiss both split time on the stationary bike trainer as we chatted with people, handed out sheriff stickers to kids, and wrapped some difficult gifts people brought to us (bow and arrow set).

We will be doing this one more time on December 18th at that Bass Pro Shop, so if you can, please stop by!

Below is a video I put together that really shows in picture and video what the Police Unity Tour is all about. It is about 5 minutes long, but worth the time to watch.

First Post for Team Pierce County 2016

Thank you for taking the time to check out our Blog for the 2016 Police Unity Tour. We are a team of 10 riders plus Two support personnel that will be fundraising in the coming months to ride and participate in the 20th year of the Police Unity Tour. For those of you who do not know what the Police Unity Tour is, it is a fundraising Bicycle ride that is open to any active or retired Law Enforcement Officer, and family members of those who have lost their relative while in the Line of Duty.
The Police Unity Tour is a 501(c) 3 Non-Profit foundation that raises money for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and all that the NLEOM supports. Each rider and support member has to raise $1,850.00 in order to be accepted in the Tour. And for us, that means in total our team will have to raise over $22,200.
I have set up this page, like I have in years past (see tab to the right for a link to those rides), so that those that are interested in watching how we are doing in the Tour can check in on this Blog before and during the ride to Washington DC. If you would like to find out more on what the Police Unity Tour or the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is all about, I have included links to both in the column to the right and at the bottom of this post.
Below I have included two videos. The first is of our first ride with Chapter 1 of the Police Unity Tour in 2012. The second is a clip from our local community channel show in Pierce County in which we explain what the Unity Tour is and why we do it.
Again Thank you for checking out our Team Blog and check back often to see where we are at in our training, team pictures, who our major contributors are and ultimately, to check in on us each night as we ride in the 320 mile ride over four days from New Jersey to Washington DC.
