TASER Foundation Hosted 4th Annual Takin’ the Ride Charity Motorcycle Event

More than 100 bikes line up for the TASER Foundation charity ride
Events like these are important to the TASER Foundation not only by raising money for the families of fallen officers, but also bring awareness to the community. A few months ago, a close friend of mine from college, Sam Hicks, died in the line of duty while doing a drug raid in Indiana Township, PA, on November 19, 2008. He was an FBI agent that loved not only his job, but protecting the streets and neighborhoods he served. Ever since that incident when Sam was killed, the TASER Foundation has been an inspiration to me, to help memebers like the Hicks family during tragedy.
The TASER Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides financial and educational support to the families of law enforcement officers in the Unitd States and Canada who have lost their lives in the line of duty. It was started in November 2004 by the Smith family and the TASER International staff. To learn more about the TASER Foundation and upcoming events, visit the TASER Foundation.
