The VHPD Committment
In 2008 members of the Vernon Hills Police Department established the "Run From the Cops"5K as a way to facilitate positive interaction with our community while raising money for our nations wounded veterans. Since then, volunteer members of the department along with our families, friends and community volunteers have raised over $40, ooo for our nation's heroes. This year, 100% of the net proceeds from the event will be donated to the Sentinels of Freedom. It is the mission of the Sentinels of Freedom Scholarship Foundation to assist these permanently disabled veterans in their efforts to become productive, self-sufficient, integrated members of their local communities upon their return to civilian life.
