ROSEDALE, Md. — Baltimore County Police and Exile Gym presented a $25,000 check to the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter in memory of Officer Amy Caprio, marking the largest donation in the fundraiser's seven-year history.
The donation came from the Amy Caprio Classic, a powerlifting event hosted by Officer Joshua Phipps for the past four years at Exile Gym. The fundraiser honors Caprio, a Baltimore County police officer who died in the line of duty in 2018.
"It is my privilege to present a check to BARCS in the memory of Amy Caprio in the amount of $25,000," Phipps said.
The public fundraising event continues Caprio's legacy through her love of animals, making BARCS the annual beneficiary.
