Pig Bowl click here for more info. Coming in 2008, a newer, improved format for the Oregon PigBowls. Law Enforcement for Youth’s Pig Bowl will continue with it’s format of full contact football games played by local law enforcement, as well as the addition of public safety personnel in the 2008 season. Each year as our primary fundraiser local Deputies, Police Officers, Troopers, Corrections Officers, and Parole and Probation officers strap on the pads for fun and for kids. In the 2008 season, we are including all public safety personnel. This will include firefighters, EMTs, Coast Guard, and other military personnel. |

Although the Pig Bowls use high school rules, the level of competition is at a level to compare with college or semi pro games. Past teams consisted of players with high school, college, and semi-pro experience. A few players have had professional experience both in the NFL and with Arena League teams. With experienced players and highly motivated personalities the Pig Bowl is definitely not a sandlot game.

Shop with a Cop
Law Enforcement for Youth is proud to announce it will be continuing with our annual “Shop with a Cop” program.

Each child is provided a $25.00 gift card and partnered with a law enforcement officer. The partnership then shops for what in some cases may be one of these kids’ only holiday gifts.
