Doorman Service is honored to announce its sponsorship of the Helicopter Ball Drop at the first annual Battle of the Badges Charity Golf Tournament, a premier event dedicated to supporting the Kent Police Foundation. This exciting day of golf, camaraderie, and community spirit will take place on May 30, 2026, at the beautiful Riverbend Golf Complex. We are proud to be part of an event that not only offers a day of friendly competition but also makes a significant, positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in our community.
At the heart of this tournament is a cause that resonates deeply with our values at Doorman Service: strengthening the community from within. The Kent Police Foundation is a vital organization that works to foster trust and build strong relationships between law enforcement and the community they serve. One of the foundation’s key initiatives is its support of the Bluebridge Alliance, a program that empowers police officers to provide immediate, short-term assistance to people in need. These small acts of kindness, whether it’s providing a warm meal, a safe place to stay for the night, or a gas card to get to a job interview, can make a world of difference in someone’s life. As the social media posts for the event so eloquently state, “These small acts of care can change the course of a day, and sometimes a life.”
The Bluebridge Alliance’s mission is to “enable law enforcement officers to extend a helping hand to those in need, bridging the gap between officers and the communities they serve.” This innovative program provides officers with the resources to offer practical help on the spot, transforming routine encounters into opportunities for compassion and connection. This direct and immediate support not only addresses urgent needs but also helps to build positive relationships between the police and the community, fostering a sense of mutual trust and respect.
The Battle of the Badges Charity Golf Tournament is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of community and a testament to the power of working together for a common good. The tournament is designed to be a fun and engaging event for everyone involved, bringing together local law enforcement officers, community members, and business leaders for a day of friendly competition and camaraderie. The scramble format ensures that golfers of all skill levels can participate and have a great time. Participants will have the chance to win amazing prizes in a variety of contests, including a 2026 Ford F-150 for a hole-in-one, a 7-night resort vacation for two in the Mega Putt Contest, and, of course, the Helicopter Ball Drop, sponsored by yours truly, Doorman Service!
Doorman Service has always been committed to giving back to the community we serve. We believe that a strong community is built on a foundation of mutual support and care. Our sponsorship of the Helicopter Ball Drop is just one way we are showing our support for the Kent Police Foundation and the incredible work they do. And to make things even more exciting, we are thrilled to announce a special Clopay garage door giveaway for qualifying homeowners. One lucky homeowner will receive either two single-wide premium Clopay garage doors or one double-wide premium Clopay garage door, including professional installation, labor, hardware, and standard setup, a prize valued at up to $6,000!
