IABF donated and matched the raffle proceeds from its annual golf outing to help the family of fallen police officer Anthony Varvaro, who played Major League Baseball for seven seasons before working for the NY/NJ Port Authority. He died in a car accident.

There was a Go Fund Me page started after Officer Varvaro passed away. The family posted an update in appreciation of the donations: “The Varvaro family wants to take a moment to thank everyone for the continued support. We have been absolutely overwhelmed with the outpour of support from friends, family, organizations and people who were simply inspired by Anthony’s story. It is a reflection on Anthony, and who he was and everything that he stood for. It has been heartwarming to see how many people Anthony has touched. We thank you again, your donations will not only help to support the kids financially, but your generosity will be part of the story as we over time explain to them the legacy their father left behind.”
