For this podcast we sit down for a conversation with Stephen Dannhauser and Rusty Staub about this years’ Annual Dinner. Listen as
they discuss the impact that the annual dinner has on both the supporters of the Benefit Fund as well as the beneficiaries. So much of the ability of the fund to care for those families that lost loved one in the line of duty depends on the money raised through the dinner.
