Copline, a support line for law enforcement officers facing crises, will hold a New Year’s Eve fundraising run on the Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk, NJ, and virtually throughout the country.
“We feel it is important to have the event at midnight on New Year’s Eve to remind us that Police Officers all over the country are working and not with their families as well as to serve as a reminder to bring in the New Year healthy, safe, and sober," Stephanie Samuels, founder/president of Copline, says. "As they run for ‘the call,’ so do we. All proceeds will support our core mission of assisting police officers who are experiencing a multitude of stressors both on and off the job.
Registration is $45 up to the day of the race. To register please visit www.copline.net. Runners/walkers will gather at the corner of Arnold and Ocean Avenue at 11:30 pm to pick up their race packets and the race will begin right at midnight. Virtual runners will have their packets mailed to them.
