Run with the Badges 5K

Paulding Public Safety Appreciation, Inc

PPSA's goal is to help provide financial assistance to the protectors of our community when in a time of need.

Paulding Public Safety Appreciation, Inc. (PPSA) is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization that was created to help public safety employees when in times of need. Whether it is for themselves or their immediate family, PPSA can step in to assist when other traditional forms are not available or sufficient. To be eligible for benefits, individuals need to live or work inside Paulding County but must work in the realm of public safety - Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMS, 911 Dispatch, Animal Control, the Solicitor's Office, and the District Attorney's Office. The assistance from the PPSA is used to help with tangible expenses like medical bills, utility bills, mortgage payments, grocery bills, home repairs, and hospice or funeral expenses.

What We Do

• PPSA has given close to $200,000 to public safety family's in need since its inception in 2009 (over $22,000 in 2022 alone.)
• PPSA host the annual "Run with the Badges" 5k Glow Run fundraiser 
• PPSA hosts the annual Paulding Public Safety Appreciation Breakfast event which is another way of honoring our public safety officials.
