In May of 1998, the San Diego District Attorney Investigator’s Association (SDDAIA) established a FALLEN OFFICERS FUND (FOF).  The fund was created for the purpose of rendering financial assistance to any active San Diego or Imperial County Law Enforcement Officer in times of crisis.  This fund assists local, state and federal officers or their immediate family member who is in need of financial assistance as a result of death, injury or any other event in which financial assistance would not otherwise be immediately available. Below are examples of assistance: 

1. Two officers were responding to a disturbance call and upon entry were fired upon by the occupant. Both officers were in critical condition and needed extended time off to recover. 
2. Unfortunately in the 2018 West Fire, a few officers and their families lost their homes and sadly lost everything. Funds were donated to help with immediate needs such has housing, clothing, and hygiene products.
3. An officer passed away from Stage 4 cancer and is survived by his wife and 3 children under the age of 10 years old.

Our biggest fundraiser is an annual golf tournament that takes place on May 10, 2019 at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort and Spa.  In 2018, FOF was able to provide $57,500 to law enforcement officers and their families in times of crisis.  This was due in large part to the donations we received at our annual FOF Golf Tournament.  We would like to offer you the opportunity to be a tournament sponsor and support a worthy cause.

The tournament is always preceded by a memorial service honoring fallen officers. At the post-tournament dinner, the winners are awarded their prizes, and a raffle and silent auction are held.

We would like you to consider the following sponsorship opportunities:
