INVICTUS LEMC, MINNESOTA WELCOMES YOU
A Minnesota based 501c3 Charity
Lakeville Police Department
Pink Patch Project 2024
One of the ways we try and make a difference with our charity is to work with a local police agency to cover the manufacturing of that agency's Pink Patch Project. Each October, these patches are then sold to the public with the proceeds being donated to the American Cancer Society.
On June 19, 2024 at our monthly bike night, we presented the Lakeville Police Department this year's donation of $750.00 to help offset their manufacturing costs.
Please show your support to them and to all agencies that participate in the Pink Patch Project because cancer sucks!
Thank you Lakeville Police for your amazing show of support!

On June 9, 2024, we rode in support of Grayson's Ride for Wishes hosted by Memento Mori, LEMC. After a great day of riding to support this ride, we concluded at Maranatha Church.
We made a direct donation to support the wishes of this year's recipient, Emmett.
What an amazing young man and we are eager to see the progress that you will endure!
4th Annual MadVet 22k Ruck March
For the 4th year in a row, on Monday, May 27th, 2024, we hosted and conducted a 22 kilometer ruck march to bring awareness to the 22 active duty and military veterans that commit suicide each year. This year, we were invited to alter our route and take part in Farmington Memorial Day Service at Corinthian Cemetery by Farmington's Mayor Joshua Hoyt. We are absolutely honored for the invite and it was our privilege to take part in this event along our journey.
Also, thank you to both the Dakota County Sheriff's Office and The Rosemount Police Department for providing us with traffic control and protection.
We started this ruck at Castle Rock Bar and Grill at 8:00am. We then proceeded north on Highway 3 into Farmington and to the service. After a short rest break, we then continued north on Highway 3 into Rosemount where we concluded the ruck at the Rosemount American Legion.
We do this ruck each year simply to bring awareness. We do not fundraise on this event at all. If you are interested in next year's event, contact us through the contact section of this website.
4th Annual Gun Raffle/Fund Raiser
We had a fantastic fund raiser/gun raffle event on September 30th, 2023. Thanks to the support of all of those who purchased gun raffle tickets and to those of you who came out and supported us, we were able to achieve our fundraising goal. Your direct support allows us to continue our mission to support underprivileged children at Christmas, support military families in financial duress and to support public service department’s public outreach programs.
All gun raffle winners have been contacted.
We would like to thank the following organizations for their support this year:
Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776
Indian Motorcycle of Lakeville
Helping Those When Their Service Ends
Each year, Soldier’s 6 hosts their annual fundraiser event. This year, we decided to drop in and make a direct cash donation of $1,000 to help support their mission.
For those who don’t know, Soldier’s 6 is a Minnesota based 501(c)3 charity that acquires, trains, and donates service dogs to former law enforcement, military and public service personnel that are in need.
Dana and Ed, we are proud of what you do and honored to donate to your worthy cause.
Farmington PD Pink Patch Project
Cancer sucks.
Each year, police departments across Minnesota sell pink versions of a version of their departments patches. They sell these versions to the public to raise funds for cancer research. Most of the times, budget restraints means that many departments officers need to front the money required to cover the production of these patches.
This year, it is our honor to donate money to The Farmington Police Officers Association to cover the entire cost of production of these patches. This means that all money raised from selling these patches goes to cancer research.
Tonight we made the donation official. Thank you to the Farmington Police Department for taking part in the Pink Patch Project and we hope your sales are great this year.

Supporting Special Olympics, MN

On May 19, 2023, Dunkin' Donuts worked with local Police Departments across the State of Minnesota to raise funds for Special Olympics, Minnesota, under the program of "Cop on a Rooftop".
We rolled in on this chilly morning to support the Apple Valley Police Department's version of this amazing fund raising event. After the pleasantries were exchanged, we surprised them with a $1,000.00 donation.
We are proud of our local agencies and all of their public outreach programs. This is just another example of how we disperse the funds that we raise.
Helping Deserving Families
Helping families in need during the holidays is the biggest way we give back to our community. We had the honor to help out some very deserving families. Here is some of the feedback we got from the families that were helped:
"Hello.. I had not thanked you, for helping my daughter with the Christmas gifts. I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart... have a Merry Christmas."
"I would like to extend my gratitude to this organization! I couldn’t be more grateful that my kids were thought of during this time of year. I am so thankful that they were privileged to be apart of this giving organization. They have been told horrible things over the years about certain groups or kind of careers that people are in, that are simply not true. My boy’s have endured a lot in their short years. Have had to learn things early and get the reality of things in life that are hard. For my kids to see first hand that people are GOOD and care about them when they don’t even know them is something you can’t teach but hopefully they learn through the wonderful things they encounter in life. Slowly but surely, GOOD wins all. I’m blessed to have Detective Tara Becker nominate my family. She is an Angel that has helped me (us) so much. Without her this wouldn’t be possible. Thank you so very much for the kindness and generosity your organization has shown. I will forever be grateful. Thank you."

Our Roots
WHO WE ARE
We provide help in numerous ways. From helping out underpriveleged children and their families during the winter holidays to providing financial and volunteer support to local public service outreach programs.
OUR PROGRAMS
SUPPORT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIRE, FIRST RESPONDERS PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS
Our community's public service departments are often in need of financial help with their public outreach programs. We provide financial assistance to support programs like The Pink Patch Project, Kicks for Kids, Diaper Drives, and numerous other programs.
Each winter holiday season, we work with local schools, social workers and law enforcement to help identify underprivileged children and their families. These families do not have the financial means to provide a proper holiday to their family. We work with them to find out what the child's needs are and then we work with local retailers to acquire these items. These items include toys, games, entertainment options, needed clothing and necessary household items. If you know of a family in need, please submit a holiday family nomination form. We are currently only able to provide support to the following communities: Apple Valley, Rosemount, Lakeville, Farmington, Eagan, and Hastings.
