The Freedom Run® 5K was first organized by the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (DAYL) immediately following 9/11 to raise money for the Dallas Assist the Officer Foundation (ATO) in honor of Dallas’ first responders and police officers. The Freedom Run® has been held every September since 2001 and has raised OVER $400,000 for ATO thanks to the continued support of our generous sponsors and volunteers.

BENEFICIARY
The Assist the Officer Foundation provides assistance to officers who are facing the loss of income due to a serious injury, life-threatening illness or other catastrophic event and to officer’s families in the event of the death of an active officer.
For more information on the Assist the Officer Foundation, including how to make a donation, please visit www.atodallas.org.
Due to the financial struggles resulting from COVID-19, ATO's need for assistance is greater than ever. Please help us reach our goal of donating $25,000 to ATO this year to help meet their increased need!
