This year’s Shoot for the Stars golf tournament raised $15,000 for the Behind the Badge Foundation.

The event was held Aug. 27 at the Bear Creek Country Club in Woodinville and was organized by Zetron, a mission-critical communications systems provider in Redmond.

This was the second annual Shoot for the Stars event and the money raised will go to an organization that serves Washington’s injured and fallen law-enforcement officers and their families. From these two events, Zetron has raised $25,000 for Behind the Badge in the last two years.

The money raised by the event included participant donations, corporate sponsorships, donations from Zetron employees and matching funds provided by Zetron and Zetron president and CEO Ellen O’Hara. Local companies and Zetron employees also donated prizes for raffles held at the event.

Participants in the tournament included law enforcement and public safety personnel from agencies throughout Washington including King, Pierce, Snohomish, Thurston, Whatcom, and Kitsap counties. Representatives from Zetron, other public-safety equipment vendors and local businesses also took part. Volunteers from Behind the Badge, Kirkland Police Explorers and Silver Lake Cheer squad assisted with the event.

“We are very pleased that, for the second year in a row, Zetron’s Shoot for the Stars tournament has been such a great success,” said O’Hara. “The event is an important community effort and demonstration of our support for Behind the Badge and the officers and families the foundation serves.”
