The BackStoppers Education Fund
From daycare through university, our assistance and commitment to helping the children of fallen heroes will never waver. Educational costs and expenses continue to rise, and we understand the financial toll that takes on a family. We are honored to assist and be a part of our families' educational aspirations and goals.
The BackStoppers Education Fund covers tuition at all levels, technology, textbooks, housing on- and off-campus and related costs, uniforms, school supplies, tutoring, extracurricular activities, sports, clubs and more.
Your Support
The BackStoppers has made a commitment to provide for the future security and education of the families of those who have fallen in the line of duty. It is an obligation we must meet, but given the soaring costs of education, we cannot do it without the help of others who share our respect and admiration for those who protect us everyday.
All funds contributed to The BackStoppers Education Fund will be specifically designated to meet these education obligations. The BackStoppers' Board of Directors will distribute funds to families each year on a case-by-case bases after all other financial aid options have been exhausted by the family.
Your generous support will ensure that a child that has lost his or her parent will not have to suffer further due to an inability to pursue whatever educational opportunities may be available. Moreover, your donations will bring peace and comfort to tragedy-torn families that have nowhere else to turn for this support.
"I'm deeply grateful to the BackStoppers Education Fund for enabling my pursuit of higher education. With BackStoppers' full-ride opportunity, I earned my bachelor's degree in human resource development. Without the unwavering support of BackStoppers, the cost of tuition and college expenses would have been insurmountable. Their generosity allowed me to fully concentrate on my studies, turning my dreams of higher education into a reality. The Education Fund has not only provided financial assistance but has also empowered me to achieve the seemingly impossible." – Layne Vascoe, Daughter of St. Charles Firefighter Bradley Pierce, EOW 8/6/00
