​In 2014, the MC-1 Foundation was started as the MC-1 Honor Run, a fundraiser motorcycle ride for the family of Sgt. Dave Baldwin of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (e.o.w. 1-26-2014).   Sgt. Baldwin, whose radio call sign was MC-1, was killed in the line of duty after being struck on his motorcycle by a wrong-way driver. Each year, the MC-1 Foundation selects a public service employee who has been injured in the line of duty as the honor run beneficiary.  The foundation commits to providing support to them throughout the year.

THE FOUNDATION, WHICH IS A 100% VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION, HAS GROWN TO BECOME A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(c)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (#47-5206410).
