“I have been a proud sponsor of The Ben to the Shore Bike Tour which benefits the Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation for over 20 years, but more than that, I’m proud to participate in the region's main event for benefitting children and fallen police heroes in Philadelphia and South Jersey. The Ben to The Shore Bike Tour has been a tremendous team building event for our company; our employees, customers, and partners take part in the ride every year. We look forward to it throughout the year. For us, it is very gratifying to help those who put their lives on the line for us."
- Geof McKernan, CEO, NSM Insurance Group


“Every summer, our PAL officer takes us to Atlantic City to see all the bikes cross the finish line. We wake up really early and Officer Wells picks us up in the van. The riders are always happy to see us as they come into Atlantic City, so we love to cheer and make a lot of noise for them. It’s a special reward for us kids to go with Officer Wells to support the riders. It’s such a fun day! Money that The Ben to the Shore Bike Tour raises for PAL helps my center stay open all year long. My PAL center is the best place in the world to hang out. I get help with my homework, play sports and games, and meeting a lot of friends. My PAL officer is like a parent to me, and she always makes me feel very safe when I'm at the center. I don't know where I would go if my canter wasn't open, so I'm thankful that groups like the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation help PAL."

“The Fraternal Order of Police is proud to stand tall alongside the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation for this year’s The Ben to the Shore Bike Tour. This is a wonderful event which helps a number of Police Charities, and one that is near to our heart here in Philadelphia… The Survivor’s Fund. We look forward to making this the largest ride to date and are glad to be such an important part of it.”
- John McNesby, President, Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police


“It's been my pleasure to ride in The Ben to the Shore Bike Tour for the last several years, raising money for police charities and kids in need. A nicer group of 1,000 people you will never meet. This past summer, I had the added thrill of riding with my three sons, ages 16, 14 and 12. My youngest son and I rode on a tandem. I can't say it was easy, but when it was over, we both had a tremendous sense of accomplishment. I have been proud to be associated with the Families Behind the Badge Children's Foundation and all those whose efforts make this event so successful.”
