Tribute is a Symbol of a Special Partnership
A special collaboration ensured that a pair of distinctive, official, green signs was erected on the Interstate 5 freeway, just north of Sacramento, to honor the sacrifice Fallen Hero CHP Officer Artie J. Hubbard paid while on duty, protecting the citizens of California. This tangible and enduring tribute to Officer Hubbard stands as a symbol of a positive special partnership forged among the CHP 11-99 Foundation, the California Association of Highway Patrolmen (CAHP), the California Highway Patrol and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

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.
