The family fun begins at 3:00 p.m., opening ceremonies commence at 5:00 p.m. followed by friendly competition for bragging rights. The festivities include food and drink for purchase, a huge selection of raffle and silent auction items featuring beach condo packages and a grand finale of fireworks.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Peacemaker Project 703, a nonprofit organization established by fallen officer Oberheim’s family to proactively support law enforcement officers and their families through community outreach, reform and education.
