​For 10 years, the Guns N Hoses Charity Classic has brought our community together to celebrate, support, and honor the First Responders who protect us every day. Lino Lakes Volunteers In Public Safety (LLVIPS) is proud to announce that we have selected another amazing Minnesota non-profit as our beneficiary this year!

Heroes Helping Heroes meets first responders where they are, providing a range of programs and services designed to support their unique needs. We connect participants through peer support groups, outdoor and recreational activities, and trusted community networks, all at no cost. Our offerings include mentorship opportunities, wellness workshops, and mental health resources tailored specifically to the experiences of first responders. Additionally, our programs feature retreats, team-building activities, and events that include the entire first responder family, providing intensive support and skill-building to manage stress and trauma. By creating safe spaces for first responders to share their experiences, build camaraderie, and engage in meaningful recovery activities, we reduce isolation, combat stigma, and promote long-term mental and emotional well-being.
