,Celebrating achievement in the FOP community

The Jeannie Peeper Awards — which honor our Founder’s initiative, leadership, vision, and courage — recognize those who make exceptional contributions to the IFOPA through their leadership, service, fundraising, awareness-building and other accomplishments. 

Since 2010, the IFOPA has recognized individuals and groups for their service to the FOP community.

In 2023, the Jeannie Peeper Awards Committee introduced new award categories, recognizing an individual for Outstanding Community Involvement and presenting separate Outstanding Fundraising Awards. They also added an Emerging Leader Award for community members under 18 years of age. As always, the President's Lifetime Achievement Award is selected by our Founder and President Emeritus, Jeannie Peeper.

We are pleased to announce the 2025 Jeannie Peeper Award winners, whose gifts of time, talent, experience, and selflessness have made an incredible impact on the FOP community. Learn more about them through their stories.

Thank you to the 2025 Jeannie Peeper Awards Committee, which included Jeannie Peeper, Helen Bedford-Gay, Steve Eichner, Chrissy Flexer, Nadine Großmann, Brian Harwell, and Michelle Davis.
