How can you help?
On average 160 officers are killed in-the-line-duty every year. Our goal is to provide up $10,000 per family. That can be a staggering number but it is quite obtainable. Every donation helps, even just $1 from every officer in the country and their friends would provide the funding needing to meet this goal. You can make a difference in a time of sorrow and sadness. You can bring a ray of light and help. We cannot do this alone…much like relying on our partners in the field, we rely on, you, our partners in the community, in giving back to the families whom have sacrificed so much.

100% of donations received are returned to the families of fallen officers
No salaries are taken, no fancy business front, no frills…just a dedication to the families of fallen officers. Your tax-deductible donation goes directly into the National Immediate Financial Relief Fund created by Cannonball Memorial Run. The fund is the foundation of our mission.
Provide immediate financial relief to the families of officers killed in the line of duty
Our mission is critical…sending financial relief within 24-48 hours of the notification of a line-of-duty death is essential to help the families during tragedy. Final paychecks, death benefits, survivor benefits all take time to process and are weeks, months and sometimes years away. The family has an immediate need for funds to pay house payments, buy groceries and survive in the days following the death of their loved one.
Veteran Owned
Co-Founder and President, John “JB” Bannes is not only a retired Sheriff’s Sergeant but he is also a proud USMC veteran. His Marine Corps values of Honor, Courage and Commitment are exemplified in his actions everyday. It is poignant that many in law enforcement have also served our country and sadly have survived war only to return home, continue to serve the community and sacrifice their lives to protect others.
