For 29 years, the Bacon Bowl
Association presented a classic football challenge between law enforcement
officers that have benefited local children charities. In 2006, the Bacon Bowl
Association stayed the course in benefiting children’s charities but reached
our goal by using different means. Each of this means are driven by our
passion to support and benefit children charities. |

Every year since
1979, over 3000 officers have participated in the Bacon Bowl charity
events. Officers from the Seattle Police, Tacoma Police, Pierce County
Sheriff, King County Sheriff, University of Washington Police, King County
Corrections, Pierce County Corrections, Washington State Patrol and many
others. Compassionate and dedicated people just like you, have come together
to make the Bacon Bowl event a success, and one of the largest events that
benefits children’s charities in the United States.

Area Law Enforcement VS Firefighters Amateur Boxing Challenge Fight Night Benefiting Children Charities Hosted at the Emerald Queen Casio June 11, - 2009 7pm – 10pm |

The Gun’s and Hose’s event was the result of thirty years of fundraising
by hundreds of Police Officers and Firefighters. In 1980, the first Bacon
Bowl Football game was played pitting Seattle and Tacoma Police Officers in a
tackle football game in the Kingdome. This game also featured one Tacoma
Firefighter, Dave Wilsie. After 28 games and raising over 2.5 million dollars for
children’s charities we found it to be too expensive and require too many
participants to continue the football game.
So, in 2007 we had the first annual “Fist’s “N” Cuff’s, an amateur
boxing match pitting area Police Officers against each other. Another match
was done in 2008, both at the Emerald Queen Casino in During the 2008 event the ring announcer, Pat McCurdy of the King
County Police Department, challenged area Firefighters to enter the ring for
the 2009 event. The firefighters answered the bell for this year “Guns and
Hoses” |
