Presenter's Charity of Choice

Honor the Fallen. Help the Injured. Rep the Blue


Team Blue Line's mission is to support families of law enforcement officers who have given their lives and health in the line of duty


All proceeds from this training will be donated to Team Blue Line.


“I chose Team Blue Line because of their commitment to honoring the sacrifices made not only by law enforcement officers, but by their families as well. Their work helps provide critical pieces needed for families to begin rebuilding their lives when tragedy strikes—whether through serious injury or the ultimate sacrifice made in the line of duty. I believe their work  is an essential part of the healing process for those trying to recover and those left to carry on.”~ Andrew Velez, LPC
