Today, we continued celebrating the incredible success of our 39th Annual Ben to the Shore Bike Tour at our New Jersey Beneficiary Luncheon!

Every year, our riders make their way through South Jersey on their journey to the finish line in Atlantic City. Behind the scenes, dedicated organizations, first responders, and community partners work tirelessly to help make that journey possible.

Today was our opportunity to give back to those who help make it all happen.

We were proud to award grants to deserving New Jersey organizations whose programs align with our mission of supporting first responders, their families, and the communities they serve.

These grants represent more than financial support. They're a reflection of what makes the Ben to the Shore Bike Tour so special: a community that comes together not only to make a difference on ride day, but to create a lasting impact long after the final rider crosses the finish line.

To our New Jersey partners, grant recipients, riders, and supporters, THANK YOU for being such an important part of our success. We couldn't do it without you!

Last night, Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation proudly celebrated the remarkable success of the 39th Annual Ben to the Shore Bike Tour at our annual Beneficiary Party!

Thanks to the extraordinary dedication and generosity of our riders, team captains, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters, this year's Bike Tour brought together more than 2,200 registered participants and raised an incredible $1.56 million to support first responders, their families, and the communities they serve.

Throughout the evening, we had the privilege of recognizing the individuals and teams who made this achievement possible and awarding grants to deserving local organizations throughout the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey region.

What began nearly four decades ago as a small group of riders has grown into something truly extraordinary. The Ben to the Shore Bike Tour isn't just an event. It's a community united by a shared commitment to honor the fallen, support the survivors, and stand behind those who serve.

To everyone who helped make our 39th year such an incredible success, THANK YOU. None of this would be possible without you.

And as we celebrate everything we've accomplished together, we're already looking ahead to a milestone year... stay tuned!

Today, Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation honors the heroes who never hesitate to answer the call.

On this National First Responders Day, we pay tribute to the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs, medical personnel, and dispatchers who show up, time and time again. You show up when hearts are heavy, when exhaustion sets in, and when the world needs steady hands and fearless hearts.

You are the calm in chaos. The voice of reason in the storm. The light that runs toward the darkness so others can find their way out.

Today and every day, we honor your courage, your compassion, and your sacrifice. For the lives you save, the families you comfort, and the quiet moments of service no one ever sees, thank you. May we never take your bravery, your dedication, or your humanity for granted.
