EVENT INFORMATION
The 22nd Annual Howard County Police Pace 5K Race
& 1 Mile Fun Walk & Run is sponsored by the Howard County Police
Foundation. The Howard County Police Foundation is a collaboration
that links the strengths of private business and the needs of the
police department. Founded in 1994 as a business sponsored,
non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life
and police service in Howard County and strengthening the
relationship between the police and the community, the Foundation
works with the Police Department and the community to develop
innovative programs, publicize services, and fund projects not
otherwise possible under the County budget.
BENEFIT
Proceeds from this years' event benefit a number of charitable
initiatives supported by the Howard County Police Foundation. These
initiatives include a college scholarship program to honor the
supreme sacrifice made by officers who give their lives in the line
of duty protecting the citizens of Howard County that ensures that
the children of our fallen guardians can receive a good education.
The Foundation also offers two yearly educational scholarships, one
for a Howard County High School senior, and one for the child of a
Howard County police officer who is a senior in high school.
