The
Injured Officers Assistance Fund (IOAF) was created by businessman
Michael Fux in 2008. Recognizing the hardships that police officers
face if they are seriously injured on-duty and as a result of their
professional responsibilities, Mr. Fux dedicated $100,000 to start a
foundation that will help officers overcome this predicament.
While there
are multiple sources of assistance for families of fallen officers,
there is a lack if support for those who have endured nearly fatal,
debilitating injuries that have kept them and sometimes their care
takers off the job for an extended period of time.
The IOAF seeks
to grow the fund by building support from businesses and individuals
who recognize the sacrifices made by the men and women of Greater
Miami’s police departments to ensure the safety of our community. |
