Since its inception in 1972, the Foundation has granted more than $10 million for medical, funeral, and educational expenses. This year’s event is especially significant in the wake of the five recent tragedies involving LAPD Officers Nicholas Lee, Christopher Cortijo, Roberto Sanchez, George Nagata, and Ernest Allen.
This year’s celebrity participants include: Steven Bauer, Danny Trejo, Teri Hatcher, Ann Marie Johnson, Mil Mascaras, Patrick Warburton, CS Lee, Emilio Rivera, Vanessa Marcil, Jerry West, Tito Ortiz, Robin DiMaggio, Frank Buckley, Vic the Brick, Paula Trickey, Chris Knight, Eric Christian Olsen, Carl Weathers, Joanna Krupa, Jonathan Banks, Mickey Jones, and many more.
Media is required to sign in at the media registration table located past main entrance. Parking for public and media will be free in Lot 3 (entrance on Rosemont Ave.). Host Dennis Quaid will be available for media interviews and photo opportunities at the opening ceremony. Celebrities will be available for media throughout the day. The opening ceremony will honor fallen LAPD officers and include the missing man fly over formation by LAPD’s Air Support airships. Members of the LAPD Swat Team and Family Support Group will present a ceremonial golf ball to Miguel Ferrer.
More than just a golf tournament, this family event features added attractions including LAPD displays such as Air Support airships, Bomb Squad vehicles, mobile museum, and Equestrian Unit. For more information, visit LAPMF.org or find us on Facebook at Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation.
