The 9463 Foundation Sgt. Chris Reyka Home Page

The American Police Hall of Fame in Titusville Florida has delivered Christmas and birthday presents to every child of a Fallen Officer in the United States, Canada and the US Protected Territories since the 1980’s. As you can imagine, this is a monumental task and involves 1000+/- children every year.

Since the Line of Duty Death of Broward Sheriff’s Deputy Sergeant Christopher Reyka, the 9463 Foundation had accepted the challenge to hand deliver Christmas gifts to each family of a Fallen Officer who live in Florida, regardless of where the Fallen Officer was working at the time of his/her passing.

In 2023 there are 24 families with 37 children under the age of 18 years old who live in Florida and are registered with the Hall of Fame. The 9463 contacts each family and requests permission to include their families in our efforts.

Each spouse receives up to a $500 gift card.

Each 17-year-old child will receive a new laptop computer to begin college.

All remaining children will receive gifts of their requests.

These efforts are only possible with the financial support from you!

If you would like to support a family of any of the gifts, feel free to reach out to any 9463 Foundation member or simply select the donate button at the top of this page.

Thank you in advance for any assistance,

The 9463 Family
