TEXAS BLUE/RED RUN - Team Mount Pleasant Police

Seven Officers from the Mount Pleasant Police Department participated in the Fourth Annual BLUE/RED RUN that took place at the Verizon Theater in Grand Prairie on Sunday November 12, 2017. Officers participated in various events including the Half marathon, 5K and 10k runs

The run benefited the Texas Police Chiefs Association Foundation (TPCAF) Officer Death Benefit Program and the Firefighters With Cancer Fund. If a Texas law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty, the TPCAF foundation delivers a check to the surviving spouse, children, or parents in order to provide immediate funds to a family in time of crisis. The Firefighters With Cancer Fund helps firefighters with cancer supporting their needs.
