Supporting Burnsville

Backing the Blue Line, members at International Plaza, were called into action after the tragic events in Burnsville on February 18. This local non-profit organization relies on others to help with their mission, which has created important relationships like the one they have with fellow OC member Johnson & Sons Florist. Backing the Blue Line ordered 4,000 white roses, additional ribbon, and even red spray paint to make sure Burnsville police officers Matthew Ruge & Paul Elmstrand and fire medic Adam Finseth were honored appropriately. Johnson & Sons Florist delivered the roses and called multiple floral shops around the Twin Cities asking for additional bins so they could make sure the roses were well taken care of.

Our hearts go out to the families, law enforcement community and people of Burnsville. Backing the Blue line has created a list of ways to help support the families of these fallen heroes. More HERE.
