America’s Heroes Scholarship Fund About the Fund In the Summer of 2016, five police officers were brutally executed in Dallas, Texas. Jim McDavid sat in his truck listening to the radio commentary, the commentary hit him like a ton of bricks. In that moment, he made the decision to throw his time and resources behind the men and women in blue. Through in-depth research, he discovered that there were very few charities that support fallen law enforcement families, and the money raised was very small in comparison to other notable charities. The McDavid Group Charities supports the educational goals of children and spouses of fallen law enforcement officers. “The America’s Heroes Scholarship Fund” funds scholarships for fallen officer families nationwide. With plans to make sure no child of a fallen officer never has to worry about the financial burden of higher education. Your family has already paid the ultimate sacrifice.
