Surviving to Thriving Conference

For four decades, the C.O.P.S. mission of “Rebuilding Shattered Lives” has brought a source of connection and support for survivors. By supporting our mission’s goals, we are proud to offer this fun and uplifting conference for ALL SURVIVORS! The “Surviving to Thriving” Conference invites survivors to come together, regardless of survivorship, to participate in informational life sessions, interactive experiences and fun activities. Most importantly, the bonds of peer support will be evident giving you the ability to share experiences and find comfort in a supportive community. Whether you feel like you’re just surviving or thriving, this conference promises to be an uplifting and empowering event, fostering personal growth, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of survivorship.

This conference is appropriate for surviving family members, co-workers, and guests of the C.O.P.S. National Board who are age 18 and over. Please note there is no Daycare or Kids Program for children under the age of 18.

We offer financial assistance to attend this conference. The registration deadline has passed.

#GivingTuesday, December 2, 2025

WAStateC.O.P.S. is participating in #GivingTuesday, and your contribution will help us help our state’s LODD survivors.

In addition to returning survivors, we will be supporting survivors of 2025 losses at NPW 2026.

Your donations help us assist our LODD survivors as they make the emotional trek to honor their fallen officers during National Police Week, as well as receive tools and support from our national parent, Concerns of Police Survivors.

Additionally, donations allow us to aid survivors to attend their specific weekend retreat later in the year (e.g., parents, spouses, siblings).

A $100 donation will cover 7/10 of a survivor weekend (we offered $700) or a portion of our National Police Week assistance of $800, for the year 2025.

To help, please visit our website contribution page.  Thank you.

From the #GivingTuesday website:

• Inaugurated in 2012, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
• Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
