SUPPORTS

The BackStoppers started their non-profit organization in 1959, recognizing the tremendous sacrifices made every day by police officers, firefighters, volunteer firefighters, publicly-funded paramedics and EMTs. Their charity provides needed financial assistance and support to spouses and dependent children of the public servants in their coverage area who have lost their lives or suffered a catastrophic injury performing their duty.

By making mortgage and care payments, paying off debt and defraying the expenses of higher education, The BackStoppers are honoring their philosophy to care for the loved ones of those who have protected us.
