This day… this entire event… it started with Rick.

Rick was the kind of person who believed deeply in people.
In connection. In showing up. In building community in a real, human way.

The Joint Forces Jamboree is his vision in action —
bringing youth and first responders together, side by side, not in crisis… but in connection, laughter, and play.

He wasn’t just a police officer.
He was someone who led with heart, who made people feel seen, and who believed that relationships — real ones — are what build stronger communities.

This day carries that forward.

And it only happens because of people like you. 💙

The Jamboree is about more than ball hockey.

It’s about:

• Breaking down barriers between youth and first responders
• Creating positive, lasting connections
• Giving first responders a space to take off the uniform and just be human
• Bringing families and community together in one place

Every volunteer plays a role in that.

Whether you’re helping run a zone, guiding families, supporting teams, or stepping onto the floor as a referee…
you are part of something bigger.

You are helping carry Rick’s legacy forward.
