ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Foundation

Since its inception in 2014, the ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Foundation has donated over $2.5 million to members of the law enforcement community and their families on time of need.

As a representative of the ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, I would like to first extend my sincere thanks for your past and continued support of our mission. These past several years have presented numerous challenges for all of us and our communities. It is truly heartening to know we can count on organizations like yours to help us continue providing emergency financial assistance to law enforcement members, their families, and friends during times of need.

This tournament honors Bob Hermann, a 27-year veteran Deputy Sheriff, ALADS President, and LACERA Board Member. Bob dedicated his life to helping at-risk youth and tragically lost his battle with cancer. Every year, we commemorate Bob's legacy and pay tribute to all the deputies we've lost in the line of duty. However, this year is especially significant, as we are specifically dedicating the tournament to Deputy Alfredo “Freddy” Flores – EOW 4/20/24.

In the spirit of service to law enforcement and the community, we established the ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Foundation. Proceeds from the tournament provide financial support to law enforcement personnel, their children, and families facing hardship due to a fatality, near-fatal accident, physical incapacitation, or other medical incidents where assistance is prudent. The ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Foundation is a non-profit charity, making all donations tax-deductible.

With your generous support, we can assist numerous law enforcement members and their families. Funds help cover unexpected costs, provide financial aid to children and families, assist with unforeseen medical issues, and reunite injured deputies with their families as they recover from traumatic injuries sustained in the line of duty.

Your organization’s support will be greatly appreciated, and we will proudly recognize your partnership, both through our email communications and on our social media platforms. Most importantly, your contribution will enable us to continue our mission of helping those who find themselves in tragic situations.

Please note that all proceeds from the 25th Annual ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Golf Tournament will benefit the ALADS C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, a 501(c)(3) approved charitable organization (Tax ID #45-3275658).

Thank you in advance for any donation you may be able to offer.
