Profiles of Hope
Since its founding 25 years ago, the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation has been led by a dedicated group of philanthropists, who have assisted and inspired tens of thousands of their fellow citizens to rise above their circumstances and, in turn, assist and inspire others. The synopses that follow are profiles of these leaders and of the admirable men and women whose lives they have touched over the years. These truly are Profiles of Hope.
Generous Legacy Gift Endows Broderick Crawford Benefits Program
Some of us are dedicated enough to assist others through hands-on work and direct deed, while some of us assist through the provision of major charitable gifts. A very select, special few among us have the capacity, fortitude, and commitment to do both. To honor Kelly Crawford's father, 1950s television series icon and Academy Award winner Broderick Crawford, in perpetuity, and to support the 11-99 Foundation's death and emergency benefits program, Kelly and his wife Jean have become Charter Members of the 11-99 Foundation's Bob Weinberg Legacy Society.
Gift Planning Makes Wayne Reynolds a Timeless Hero for Thousands
Now-deceased California Highway Patrol Officer Wayne Reynolds was born during World War I. As an Enlisted commercial Pilot member of the U.S. Army Air Forces Reserve, he served his country during World War II. Following his military service, he served the citizens of California for 22 years, as a sworn Officer of the CHP, in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Officer Reynolds died in 1999, at the age of 84. Consistent with her late father's estate plan wishes, in November, 2005, one of Officer Reynolds' surviving children, Carole Logsdon, of Fullerton, graciously contacted the CHP 11-99 Foundation and dutifully provided a $200,000 donation from her father's estate to support the 11-99 Foundation's programs!
