The BackStoppers Events
Each year the organization benefits from many and varied
events held throughout the community. We are deeply grateful
for the funds that these affairs generate.
General Meetings
The BackStoppers is not a social organization. We come
together specifically to support our mission of assistance
to the families of fallen police officers and firefighters.
We do, however, host one general meeting each year. At
this dinner meeting, we keep our members current on organizational
affairs.
- all members receive invitations to these events
- the dinners are complimentary to members
- guests are welcome but are subject to a guest charge

Budweiser Guns ’n Hoses is set for November 26
The 23rd annual Budweiser “Guns ‘N Hoses” boxing championships will be held on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at the Scotttrade Center. The event has raised more than $2.6 million for the BackStoppers since it was first held in 1987.
It is presented by the St. Louis Guns ‘N Hoses Boxing Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
A Thanksgiving Eve tradition, Budweiser “Guns ‘N Hoses” features boxing matches between teams of law enforcement and fire services personnel from throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. The event has drawn record crowds to the Scottrade Center, the premier entertainment venue centrally located in the St. Louis area.
In addition to 17 matches, boxing’s ceremonial “10 Count” honors area police officers and fire fighters who have died in the line of duty since last year’s event.
Tickets go on sale in September and may be purchased from members of the police and fire departments.
