LLVIPS and our Premier Sponsor Centennial Youth Hockey Association are proud to support THE FRONT LINE FOUNDATION as our charitable beneficiary of  the Gun-N-Hoses Hockey Charity Classic event.​

The Front Line Foundation began to help and support our Fallen Heroes, including Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, EMS, and the Minnesota National Guard. We provide support to those who died while in the line of duty, by giving benefit payments to dependents of fallen first responders. 

​

In addition, Law Enforcement Officers, Firefighters, and EMS First Responders face armed and dangerous criminals, impaired individuals wielding weapons, even emotionally charged and threatening domestic disputes. They are the Front Line Defenders of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities who face and diffuse the high-risk, frequently appalling situations we know or hear about, with disbelief, on the news.  They also provide endowments and support for the families of fallen heroes, The Front Line Foundation will underwrite scholarships and training registration costs for Front Line personnel as well as support preparedness training for safety officers in hospitals, schools, and places of worship. Further, they assist with the purchase of needed safety and tactical equipment not currently within the budget of the local unit of government.
