About Us
Every year approximately 60 Orange County law enforcement officers, gather to ride from the State Peace Officers’ Memorial in Sacramento to the Orange County Peace Officers’ Memorial in Santa Ana.
Each participant in the ride represents an Orange County law enforcement officer who has been killed in the line of duty.
The grueling 630 miles, five day journey is the largest fund raiser for Project 999, a foundation formed in 1980 by the Orange County Sheriff’s Advisory Council. The mission of Project 999 is to assist the family of any Orange County POST Certified Deputy or Officer who is injured or killed in the line of duty.
The foundation has raised in excess of two million dollars for the sole purpose of assisting peace officers and their families.
