Since late 1959, The BackStoppers have served the families of police officers and firefighters in the St. Louis area who have perished in the line of duty. The BackStoppers have but one purpose: to ease the suffering and provide much needed financial assistance for the spouses and dependent children of these public servants who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The BackStoppers depend heavily on donations and support from the community, and this ride is another effort to support and show appreciation for the critical work of this organization.
