3rd Annual Angels In The Outfield

Beyond The Badge NY and Seaford Little League to present the 3rd Angels in the Outfield  June 14th, 2025

The All-star game will have 40 children playing and wearing the names of our Beyond the Badge officer’s names who left this world too soon on the back of their jersey. The children are extremely excited to be playing for Officers who are Heroes!  We always say it’s not how one died that matters, rather how they lived. Every single Officer being honored in this event gave years of their life to protecting and serving. The efforts and sacrifices should never be forgotten.

Additionally, we want to bring the kids and officers together to raise awareness for mental health & anti- bullying within children. We want children to know to be kind always, & that it’s okay to feel anxious or sad. We want them to find comfort in knowing that there is always someone that they can turn to for help. Whether they’re parent, a coach or even a police officer.

We invited the family, friends & co worker’s of our Angels In The Outfield to join us.

LIST OF OFFICERS BEING HONORED WILL BE POSTED SOON!
