WELCOME...
In 2005, The Charlie Sears Foundation, a 501(c)3
non-profit corporation, was formed to keep hope alive for Charlie, his
family, and other families of police officers or firefighters faced with the diagnosis of brain cancer.
The foundation now exists to continue Charlie's legacy of love, humor
and courage. To ultimately provide hope, support and financial
assistance to law enforcement officers and firefighters battling brain tumors or malignant brain
cancer.
Inspired by retired Los Angeles Police Detective Charlie Sears' strength and courage,
it is our organization's mission to provide financial assistance, physician referral
and advocacy services to those law enforcement officers and firefighters
diagnosed with brain cancer. We strive to be the first non-profit
organization founded to assist law enforcement officers and firefighters
facing this devastating disease.
It is our goal to assist officers or firefighters in
finding the most current treatments offered in the field of Neurology.
Our Medical Adviser, Dr. Christopher Duma of the Brain & Spine
Surgeons of Orange County, is one of the leading Neurosurgeons in Orange
County. Please take a look at his website www.cduma.com
to learn more about the cutting edge treatments he offers to patients diagnosed with brain tumors.
Our Board of Directors consists of retired law
enforcement officers and other working members of the community. With
the involvement of these individuals, we are working toward building our
PD & Fire Assistance fund so that we may continue to provide
assistance to any sworn police officer or firefighter who is diagnosed
with this life-changing disease.
