Yesterday was a great July 4th, and Strength & Shield, Inc. was more than happy to provide some of our Annual Bless the Blue Holiday Meals for the dedicated officers/first responders, volunteers & support staff of the Marana Police Department and NWFD.
We greatly appreciate all of the men & women who selflessly serve on duty working over the holidays, and at this time of year in the heat of the summer.
We'd also love to give a huge shout out of appreciation to Firehouse Subs shops #566 and #1086 for their generous partnership & support on these July 4th efforts for the past 2 years! We can't say enough great things about the support they provide! Please support their locations at:

Recently, Strength & Shield, Inc. was honored & grateful to support a request from the Arizona Department of Public Safety in Tucson to assist them, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP Grand Canyon State Lodge 32) & the Arizona State Troopers Association for the fundraising event efforts in support & honor of DPS EMT/Trooper Hunter Bennett & DPS Pilot Robert Sk***ey, with 100% of event proceeds going to their families. We were honored to provide an entire table of raffle baskets with some amazing items from our friends at the University of Arizona Office of Public Safety (UAPD). These included amazing contributions from the University of Arizona Athletics of both a men's team autographed football and basketball! Additionally, Strength & Shield was happy to provide and serve the event desserts, with 500 cupcakes donated by The Lazy Dazy Baker, Inc.
We'd also like to send a shout out of thanks to our friends at Planet Subs (Planet Sub-Tucson) for helping us (they always do!) with meals for the volunteers & those from the DPS dispatch/communications dept that were on duty.
We'd like to say an extra word of care & prayers out to the lovely Bennett family who was in attendance. Our hearts go out to them, and we wish them comfort during this extremely difficult time.
