About Us
Since the Benefit Fund's inception in 1985 by Daniel J. "Rusty" Staub, the Benefit Fund has distributed over $100 million to the families of New York City police and fire personnel who have been killed in the line of duty. Though the Benefit Fund was initially created to assist families of New York City Fire Fighters and Police Officers, we now include the families of Emergency Medical Services and Port Authority Officers as well. Starting in 1987, we provided 320 families with annual financial assistance and by 2007, we made the same commitment to nearly 700 families. Our need has certainly grown, but our mission remains pure: Help children and spouses who lost a loved one in the line of duty, charged with the task of keeping OUR families safe.
