Proceeds from Guns 'N Hoses are donated directly to The BackStoppers.  Within moments of the death of a police officer, firefighter, publicly funded paramedic or EMT, the BackStoppers donates $10,000 to his or her family and assures further involvement and assistance.  This support includes:

• Relieving financial debt
• Securing health and dental insurance
• Educational assistance
• Tuition assistance and other miscellaneous expenses
• The BackStoppers currently supports approximately 66 families and 82 children

Every year, on Thanksgiving Eve, the Enterprise Center in Downtown St. Louis roars to life, filled to the brim for the greatest boxing event in the nation--Guns 'N Hoses.  This year Guns 'N Hoses will be live on FOX2, sponsored by Stifel.
