Support the Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Foundation

Sadly, here in Minnesota we have lost 5 officers in the line of duty since April 15, 2023. We are helping send the families of these fallen hero's to Washington DC for Police week this May. On Officers Memorial Day during police week the names and pictures of these fallen hero's will be placed on the wall and those family members need to be there for the ceremony. We need your help to send our officers as well to be there for the ceremony to support the families and join in on the ceremony. No donation is too small and is 100% tax deductible.
