The Atlanta Police Foundation and the Patrick Kerney Foundation invite you to participate in the Link Up Against Crime celebrity golf tournamenet at the Atlanta Country Club, Monday, June 19, 2006 at 12:00 noon.

Link Up Against Crime is a joint benefit to support the Atlanta Police Foundation and Atlanta Falcon Patrick Kerney’s Lt. Thomas L. Kerney Endowment Fund. Atlanta Country Club is one of Georgia’s premier golfing venues. The tournament is an opportunity for you to show your support for the men and women of the Atlanta Police Department. In addition to pro-bowler Patrick Kerney, a number of Atlanta Falcons, former Falcons, and Falcons coaches will be on hand to play the course with participants of this dynamic event.

The Lt. Thomas L. Kerney Endowment Fund was established in 1999 by Patrick Kerney, one of the Atlanta Falcons brightest stars and a 2004/2005 pro-bowler. The Fund is designed to provide college scholarships to the children of fallen police officers. At last year’s tournament, Patrick provided a scholarship fund for the children of APD fallen Officer Mark Cross and the children of Fulton County Sheriff Deputy Hoyt Teasley. At the young age of 12, Patrick personally experienced the pain of losing a loved one in the line of duty. Patrick’s older brother, 26 year old Lt. Thomas Kerney was killed in a traffic accident while responding to a 911 call. Tom’s memory inspired Patrick to excel in life on and off the field. Now, with the success Patrick has gained in the NFL as an Atlanta Falcon, he is giving back to Atlanta and the law enforcement community through his Foundation.
