Hope Beyond the Badge 5K (Run / Walk) for First Responder and Families

About the Event

The Alex G. Kokoros Memorial Fund - and H.O.P.E Beyond the Badge foundation offer Hope, Comfort, and Support to First Responders and their Families when Stress, Trauma, and Mental Health Challenges create personal and familial struggle. Together we are helping to destigmatize conversations around First Responder Trauma, and making it easier for First Responders and their Families to seek Help.
