The Importance of Police Riot Gear for Protection During Operations
EDI-USA Gives Back: Supporting First Responders Children’s Foundation!
During the month of June of 2021, a portion of all proceeds from EDI-USA’s body armor and protective equipment will be donated to First Responder Children’s Foundation.
For nearly 20 years, First Responders Children’s Foundation has been a driving force in helping families of first responders by providing college scholarships to children of first responders who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
For 30 days in June, EDI-USA will donate 25% of all net proceeds of our body armor and protective equipment to First Responders Children’s Foundation to help families and children of first responders in need.
First Responders Children’s Foundation works directly with first responder families, including thousands of law enforcement families across the United States and is committed to helping those in need.
