About the Charities


 The Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)



The national office of Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) is located in Camdenton, MO. Dianne Bernhard, Executive Director, is in charge of the day to day operations of this national not for profit with 52 chapters throughout the United States. Since 1984, C.O.P.S. mission has been that of "rebuilding shattered lives" of surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. C.O.P.S. helps the survivors by providing emotional support and healing programs the grieving families need to cope with the sudden, often violent death of their fallen officer.

C.O.P.S. serves more than 37,000 survivors throughout the United States. Unfortunately, membership in C.O.P.S. continues to grow as statics show that on average 140-160 law enforcement officers die in the line of duty each year. C.O.P.S. does not charge survivors for any program or service; they have already paid too high a price.

The Cadet Thomas Surdyke Memorial Foundation 



To inspire and develop young leaders of character. The Foundation will use donations to provide schools and organizations with inspiring leadership and character development programs, will provide scholarships to various organizations committed to developing young leaders, and will support military character development programs.

Tom’s heroic action on June 24, 2016, fulfilled his personal mission outlined in his West Point entrance essay: “I want to dedicate my life to serve and protect those who are not able to do so for themselves. A career in the military is not only something I desire; it is something I truly feel called to do.”

We see Tom’s courageous story inspiring students to become leaders of character who will transform our nation. Please help us in our mission.


Supporting Heroes




Our mission is to honor the service and sacrifice of public safety heroes who give their lives in the line of duty - by caring for the loved ones they leave behind. 

Goals
1. Create a vehicle by which citizens could show their appreciation for the daily service sacrifices of public safety servants.
2. Honor those in the police, fire, and EMS services who make the ultimate sacrifice.
3. Assure those left behind that their loved ones would never be forgotten and that they, the survivors, would always be cared for.

The Mission Continues 





The Mission Continues empowers veterans who are adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact. We deploy veterans on new missions in their communities so that their actions will inspire future generations to serve. Since our founding, we have always been a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to bringing together veterans and innovative community organizations to create transformational change for communities in need all across the country.

Surdyke Yamaha is proud to host the 2nd Annual Boat and PWC Ride for Freedom and we hope you join us on Sunday, September 10th. At Lake of the Ozark’s best watercraft dealer, we want to make sure you always have a great time when you’re out on the lake. Visit us at Surdyke Yamaha and let us help you get out on the water!
