Residents are encouraged to register now for Highland Village’s annual TXFallen Tribute Event.
The event began in 2008 as a police bike race honoring Texas law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, and over the years it has grown into a community fundraising event, benefiting the Texas Police Chiefs Association’s Foundation, which assists families of Texas officers killed in the line of duty. The event has raised more than $500,000 for the Fallen Officer Fund, and a goal of $40,000 has been set for this year.
This year’s event at Doubletree Ranch Park includes a 5K run, civilian bike race, police bike race and a kid’s ride with cops, according to the city of Highland Village. Other activities include yard games, vendors, live music, a kid zone, food and drinks.
