Update: SOLD OUT; please consider donating at naclef.org/bbq
Effective immediately, all proceeds from the 2nd Annual Back the Blue Drive Thru BBQ Fundraiser will help us provide charitable support in response to the recent medical emergency involving Officer Spencer Tutt with the Nacogdoches Police Department.
Last night, Officer Tutt experienced a cardiac emergency that required first responders to perform CPR and utilize an AED to stabilize him. He is currently stable in Tyler with his family as he continues receiving care.
Many of you know the Tutt family and the challenges they have faced over the past year. Between two medical emergencies and their 10-year-old son Mason’s ongoing leukemia treatments, they have spent countless hours on the road and have carried significant medical expenses. NACLEF has supported the Tutt family before, but after last night’s events, we felt a responsibility to do more.
The original intent of this BBQ was to raise funds to support our programs. However, we feel called to use this event to support a family that has shown remarkable resiliency through so many challenges. Every plate ordered and every donation made will help strengthen NACLEF’s ability to carry out its mission of providing emergency benevolence to our law enforcement families, with immediate support being provided to the Tutt family.
Officer Tutt has been a member of the Nacogdoches Police Department for 10 years.

The Nacogdoches Law Enforcement Foundation Board of Directors maintains full discretion and control over all funds raised to ensure they are used in accordance with our mission of providing emergency benevolence and support to law enforcement families in need.
