The Law Enforcement/First Responder Appreciation events are designed to raise awareness and funds for the programs that NLEOMF and the National Law Enforcement Museum, based in Washington, DC, support throughout the year. Just as important is a chance to bring the law enforcement community and general public together at the events.
“This partnership developed with select NASCAR tracks will undoubtedly reinforce honoring and protecting law enforcement with an audience who respects the role they take on daily in this country,” says Marcia Ferranto, CEO of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. “The work that is poured into our First Responders Day events are incredible and provides everyone across the country the opportunity to show appreciation for our men and women in blue.”
For more than a decade,
NLEOMF has partnered
with individual national sports teams and leagues across the country to hold
Law Enforcement/First Responder Appreciation Events
. NLEOMF has worked with every major sport, both men’s and women’s, in North America and
previously worked with NASCAR on select races
.
“NASCAR and Auto Club Speedway value our first responders,” Auto Club Speedway says in an organizational statement. “Their dedication to serving our communities is unmatched, and we are deeply appreciative of the essential and selfless services they provide.”
This offer is available to all law enforcement personnel, first responders, public safety, corrections, friends, family, and the general public. NLEOMF has featured all upcoming First Responders/Law Enforcement Appreciation Days at

About NLEOMF
Established in 1984, the
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the fallen, telling the story of American law enforcement, and making it safer for those who serve. The first pillar of this mission, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., honors the names of all of the 23,229 officers who have died in the line of duty to date throughout U.S. history. Additionally, NLEOMF maintains and publishes comprehensive details on the circumstances surrounding official line-of-duty deaths. The Officer Safety and Wellness pillar uses that data, coupled with best-practice program models, to produce programming directed at solutions to improve survivability and enhance wellness. NLEOMF’s third pillar, the
National Law Enforcement Museum
is committed to preserving the history of American law enforcement and sharing the experiences of service and sacrifice for generations to come.
