On Thursday, May 18, 2023, the U.S. Marshals Service for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, will be hosting their 10th Annual Police Week BBQ. All proceeds from the event will be donated in support of the U.S. Marshals Survivors Benefit Fund. 

    By way of background, the U.S. Marshals Survivors Benefit Fund is a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit corporation formed exclusively for the charitable and educational disbursements of its funds to the surviving family members of active United States Marshals, Deputy U.S. Marshals, Marshals Service employees, and Special Deputy U.S. Marshals who are killed in the line of duty. The Fund also provides economic support to programs that preserve the memory of those fallen heroes. The Survivors Benefit Fund was organized, and is managed by, current and former U.S. Marshals Service employees and senior executives who are honored to volunteer their time and talents to carry out this very important mission. Our website at www.usmarshalsfund.org provides further information along with our EIN #45-3930625.  

    As a result of the 2019 Police Week BBQ, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was able to donate over $13,000.00 to the Fund. They are expecting over 500 people this year with the goal to raise significantly more in 2023.
