Washington State Concerns Of Police Survivors

#GivingTuesday, December 2, 2025
2025-12-02 | WA
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 retreat, spouses retreat, siblings retreat).
A $100 donation will cover 7/10 of a survivor retreat (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.

C.O.P.S. Spouses for Couples Weekend is planned for surviving spouses and their new spouse/domestic partner* (21 years or older) of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty, as determined by C.O.P.S. criteria. Other relatives and friends are not eligible to attend.

*Domestic partner is defined as a long-term committed legal or interpersonal relationship between two individuals who live together and share a common domestic life (i.e. not just a boyfriend/girlfriend).

For a surviving spouse, starting a new relationship and finding love again can be a challenging journey. Your new partner may find it challenging to navigate the twists and turns of your grief, often feeling overshadowed by the memory of your late spouse. This weekend offers a supportive environment where couples can acknowledge each other’s struggles while developing a deeper, more compassionate bond.
Couples will participate in group support sessions facilitated by licensed mental health professionals. Support sessions are coupled with wellness activities, giving you and your partner the chance to reconnect with each other and connect with others who share similar experiences. We hope that you and your partner will depart from this weekend with a renewed sense of understanding, community, lifelong friendships, and a strengthened connection for your future together.
