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.
Since the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation was created, 55 California Highway Patrol Officers have lost their lives while on duty. During one of the Department's most devastating 12-month periods in its 75-plus-year history, the CHP lost seven (7) Officers in the Line of Duty, between September, 2005 and August, 2006.
On November 16, 2007, June 10, 2007 and July 31, 2007, the three latest tragedies occurred, when Officer John Miller, Officer Robert Dickey and Officer Scott Russell lost their lives while on patrol, protecting all of us.
Never forgotten and forever honored, these most-recent Fallen Heroes are:
Officer David Romero - September 23, 2005
Officer Andrew Stevens - November 17, 2005
Officer Erick Manny - December 21, 2005
Lieutenant Michael Walker - December 31, 2005
Officer Earl Scott - February 17, 2006
Officer John Bailey - February 25, 2006
Officer Brent Clearman - August 6, 2006
Officer Robert Dickey - June 10, 2007
Officer Scott Russell - July 31, 2007
Officer John Miller - November 16, 2007
To better serve the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation's many friends and donors, the members of the CHP 11-99 Foundation's Board of Directors have launched the Bob Weinberg Legacy Society (BWLS), as part of the CHP 11-99 Foundation's 25th Anniversary Celebration. The CHP 11-99 Foundation's new BWLS provides interested donors, supporters and friends with a diverse menu of mutually beneficial gift planning opportunities, designed to support the CHP 11-99 Foundation's programs now and into the future.
The CHP 11-99 Foundation's Gold Level Supporter Web Wall of Honor recognizes the special individual benefactors who have provided donations within the last calendar year of $25,000 and above to support the 11-99 Foundation's programs.
Last fall, 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).
