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.

I agree. As it turns out, very little of any money you would potentially donate actually gets to the entity for which the donations are supposedly designated. The majority of the money goes to the professional fund raisers as overhead costs. Better to make a direct donation where you feel the money is worthwhile.
