CPA-Robert Warner Memorial Fund
Help us help the families of police officers killed in the line of duty. The CPA-Robert Warner Memorial Fund was established in 2006 to provide immediate financial assistance, in the form of a one-time lump-sum payment, to the families of police officers killed in the line of duty.
The CPA-Robert Warner Memorial Fund is a Registered Charity.
In 2006, the Canadian Police Association, along with Paystation Inc., established the Robert Warner Memorial Fund as a registered charity, in order to provide immediate financial assistance to the families of front-line law enforcement personnel who make the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
The immediate aftermath of a tragedy like the death of a father or mother, son or daughter, or any loved one, is an especially difficult period. While many benefits exist for the families of fallen police officers, unexpected costs, such as family travel to comfort those who mourn, or child care, place additional stress at an already extraordinarily difficult time.
The Memorial Fund seeks to bridge the gap between the initial tragedy, and the establishment of official benefits from the service of the fallen officer. Our office works closely with the local association to quickly and compassionately identify the next-of-kin, and has the benefit hand-delivered to the family without any undue delay, to ensure that some of those initial unexpected costs can be quickly addressed by the family. Since 2008, over 50 families have benefited from the support provided by the memorial fund.
Please answer this call for service!
The CPA is asking our members and member associations to consider fundraising events and contributions to help us build this fund to something we can all be proud of. In order to limit administrative expenses for the Fund, and thereby ensure that the families will receive the most benefit possible from your generous contributions, the CPA and Paystation have provided “in kind contributions” of administrative, marketing, legal and operating costs.
It is hard to imagine the enormity of the loss for a family, when their loved one is killed in the line of duty. Our goal is to provide immediate financial support to the families, to reduce their anxiety over immediate financial demands. You can help us by making a tax deductible contribution today, and by considering regular tax deductible contributions for the future.
