Mission Statement
The Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that serves the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey area.
​
The mission of the foundation is three-fold:
​
First – to provide financial relief to the families of fallen and critically injured first responders at their time of greatest grief and highest need.
​
Second – through our Police Youth Alliance Program, which was created by the foundation to connect cops and kids by spearheading non-enforcement, positive programs to change the dynamic between police officers and the communities they serve and to help diminish the mistrust that presently exists.
​
Third - to provide mental health and wellbeing resources to first responders and their families.
​
All of these efforts are funded by the FBBCF’s signature event, The Ben to The Shore Bike Tour, which is a 65-mile bicycle ride from Philadelphia to Atlantic City. This year’s event is on Sunday, July 21st, 2024.
