This fundraiser is held each year with the support and participation of the Atlanta Police Department through a relationship that was forged in 1980 through the “Give Our Police a Hand” campaign. The purpose of the campaign was to provide a program that honors police officers and encourages Atlanta citizens to support those individuals who protect them. The Legal Runaround got its legs in 1998 as a fundraiser to support that campaign and provides scholarships to children of police officers who have been disabled or killed in the line of duty.
