A Simple Way to Donate to the California Peace Officers’ Memorial

 There is a  beautiful bronze and granite Memorial located on State Capitol grounds in Sacramento which contains the names of the more than 1,400 courageous peace officers who have laid down their lives in the line of duty protecting and serving their fellow Californians. The names date back to early statehood. Contributions are needed and used to maintain the California Peace Officers’ Memorial, and for activities in support of the surviving families of those brave men and women peace officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice.Taxpayers can make voluntary tax-free contributions on their personal state income tax returns to the “California Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation Fund.” The process is simple. There are no checks to write and no solicitors. The taxpayer merely enters an amount of at least $1 on his or her state income tax return.I urge you to remember the California Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation Fund when you file your 2007 state tax return. .
