The Florida Highway Patrol is funded by the State and needs no contributions from the public.

Various associations, clubs, unions, and benevolent organizations do include Florida Highway Patrol in their names. Some hire professional fund raisers to make calls to residences in an attempt to obtain contributions.

I have never, no will I ever, contribute to one of these private entities.
