Hero Kits

In honor of Faith’s father’s legacy of protection

Our signature program places Benny Hero Kits — drawstring backpacks — in every City of Naples patrol car, ready to comfort children during traumatic moments.

Each kit includes:

  • A custom coloring book

  • Crayons

  • A badge sticker

  • And Benny the Bear — a soft, reassuring friend

Inspired by Faith’s father, who served as Director of Public Safety, this program recognizes the heart behind the badge and the quiet heroes who meet children in their most vulnerable moments.

  • “These Hero Kits provide more than comfort and compassion — they create connection. They’re designed to give officers the tools to step in as heroes during life’s challenging moments, while also giving children the chance to feel like the hero of their own story. When a child hugs their Benny bear or flips through their coloring book, it’s not just about distraction — it’s about reminding them they are seen, valued, and never alone. That’s the real power of these kits.”

  • “I’ve always wanted the Naples Police Department to have resources available for our officers in the middle of the night. I shared the idea with Faith, and before I knew it, a Crisis Closet was standing proudly in our roll call room. Thank you for walking alongside our department and serving our community with us.”
