The NJ State PBA ’ s June 28 monthly meeting in Atlantic City concluded with three Locals making presentations to the NJ State PBA Survivor and Welfare Fund .
State Delegates from Woodland Park Local 173 , Paterson Local 1 and Roselle Park Local 27 presented checks to State PBA President Patrick Colligan .
Local 173 hosted its second annual Families Behind the Badge Softball Tournament on May 21 and raised $ 9,000 for the Fund .
“ When something happens to law enforcement , the families are left behind asking ‘ What do I do now ?’” acknowledged Local 173 State Delegate Daniel Dugan . “ To be able to take away some of that financial burden means a lot to us .”
Local 1 donated $ 7,400 from its beefsteak dinner and Local 27 donated $ 1,000 from its golf outing .
Local 173 hopes to start a similar fund to take care of its own members who are on disability or struggling through a difficult time .
“ That ’ s why we call the tournament “ Families Behind The Badge ,’” explained Dugan . “ We had an officer who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is in remission , but going out on disability is not easy . We think it ’ s a great idea to have a Survivor and Welfare Fund that can help our officers .” d
