In Memoriam - Badges of Honor
"If necessary, lay down my life..."

Six of the most recent deaths occurred in a nine-month period; from May 2010 to February 2011. There are now eight young children who will have to navigate the challenges of life without their fathers. The 11-99 Foundation provided each of these recent Fallen Hero CHP Officers' families with immediate assistance ranging from $25,000 to $50,000.
Never forgotten and forever honored, these six most recent Fallen Heroes are:

Profile 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.
