About Right By Your Side
Right By Your Side is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides support and financial assistance to first responders suffering from physical and/or emotional injuries related to their performance of duty. Founded in 2020, Right By Your Side originated after Rochester Police Officer, Denny Wright, was attacked on duty. This act mobilized founders, David and Tracy Scalen, also founders of Regional Distributors, Inc., to action to raise the necessary funds for first responders and bring awareness to the community.
“First Responders dedicate their lives to keeping our community safe. Right By Your Side was started to show gratitude for that sacrifice.”
