About this Virtual Run: Paws for the Law is back for it’s 4th consecutive year, and this year’s medal is a special “Thank You!” to Law Enforcement Officers everywhere.
Police Officers wear ballistic vests as part of their daily uniform, however, the K-9s who are putting themselves between officers and an armed suspects are often not provided the same protection. 100% of the funds raised from this event will be used to purchase:
- -K-9 ballistic vests that provide protection against guns and knives for K-9s who are used to help track and apprehend armed suspects
- -Opioid reversal kits for narcotics K-9s who may be exposed to inhaled or ingest drugs.
These items are donated to Police Departments in need anywhere in the USA.
Did you miss last year’s virtual race? We have a limited number of 2019 Paws for the Law medals available. The 2018 and 2017 events are completely sold out.
About the Charity: The DeLisle K-9 Officer Safety Foundation began raising funds for K-9 Officer ballistic vests in the fall of 2016 after hearing of a K-9 shot and killed in the line of duty. These vests cost an average of $1,200 each and are usually not included in police department budgets. Since that time they have become a 501(c)3 and have raised enough funds to purchase 31 bulletproof K-9 vests, helping to protect K-9’s throughout Delaware and across the country. Each vest purchased helps to protect the K-9, which in turn protects our dedicated Police Officers!
Virtual Strides Partner Event: This event is part of the Virtual Strides Partners Program. The DeLisle K-9 Officer Safety Foundation will receive 100% of the net proceeds from this event after Virtual Strides’ partner costs are deducted.
