Sheriff’s Youth Fund

The Wayne County Sheriff’s Youth & Senior Education Fund is a non-profit (501c3) organization made up of a group of civic minded citizens and business persons who raise funds for programs that support the Sheriff’s Office mission to educate and protect children and senior citizens.

This is a completely volunteer organization. There is no paid staff and all of the money raised, with the exception of minor administrative costs, goes directly to worthwhile causes. 

• In the past two years, for example, the Fund has:

• Purchased and delivered thousands of dollars worth of Christmas gifts for disadvantaged families in Detroit and Highland Park, as well as for the families of soldiers fighting in Iraq
• Purchased thousands of safety whistles that have been distributed to children and senior citizens.
• Made several donations to programs that assist women and their children who have fled abusive homes

• Purchase of two ORVs to assist the Sheriff’s Office efforts to provide free practical safety training to children under 16 who ride ORVs or ATVs.
• Printed and distributed thousands of File of Life kits for Senior Citizens to keep important medical information handy.
• Purchased 20 sets of new golf clubs that have been provided to inner city students as part of a new program to introduce them to the game of golf and receive mentoring from adult role models.
• Much, much more.
