Blue Ribbon Day: Honoring Our Heroes and Building a Safer Tomorrow

Blue Ribbon Day is 29 September, which coincides with National Police Remembrance Day. Blue Ribbon Day is a chance for the community to say thank you to those who protect and serve our community and ensure that those who have fallen are never forgotten.

The Foundation first launched Blue Ribbon Day in 1999, after the outpouring of community support for Senior Constable Rodney Miller and Sergeant Gary Silk who were tragically killed on 16 August 1998.

We hope you will support our campaign to remember the 175 Victoria Police Officers who have died in the line of duty and say thank you to all Victoria Police officers for their work in serving & protecting our community.

We remember lives by saving others. Building new and improved emergency facilities in Victorian hospitals that are then named in memory of fallen officers. Proceeds from Blue Ribbon Day help to fund these projects named in their honour.

The Foundation is so grateful for the support of the Victorian community, Victoria Police members, veterans, & families and our 17 volunteer branches. With their amazing support, we have proudly contributed over $11 million to our Victorian public hospitals.

Please get involved and show your support. (click here)
