Join us on Friday, August 15, for the New Jersey State Police’s Battle of the Badges III Charity Softball Game at Skylands Stadium for an inspiring night of heroes, hope, and baseball! 👮🏻‍♂️👮🏻

This year’s event will honor Sussex County Sheriff’s Office Supervisory Public Safety Dispatcher Shannon Thonus, who recently passed away at the age of 31 following a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Thonus family—her husband, Jim Thonus, a New Jersey State Trooper and member of the marines, and their two young daughters, ages 1 and 4.

Please join us in supporting this great cause. Buy tickets now by tapping the link in our bio or visiting scminers.com.
