History of Fallen Agents fund
The Fallen Agents Fund began in 2014 when a group of Border Patrol Agents decided to put on a Christmas present drive as a show of remembrance and support for the children of fallen Border Patrol Agents. The Fallen Agents Fund started with the help of Agents from a single station and a list that contained the names of twenty-four children of fallen Agents from the local area. When we saw how receptive the Border Patrol community was to the idea, we started working on the Fallen Agents Fund in an effort to expand the project and pursue official 501(c)(3) status. The next year, we expanded the present drive to four locations and improved our list to thirty-nine children. Thanks to the generous efforts of Border Patrol Agents in California, Arizona and Texas, Fallen Agents Fund collected and delivered one hundred ninety-two presents to the children of fallen Border Patrol Agents. This served as a wonderful reminder to the children and spouses of our fallen brothers and sisters, that they have not been forgotten.
We have since been granted 501(c)(3) status. Everyone who sits on our Board of Directors is either a Line Agent or a Combat Vet. In 2021 we collected 675 presents for 122 children of fallen Border Patrol Agents.
This year we are collecting presents for 130 children of fallen agents. The deadline to bring in presents is December 2nd, and if you want to support this cause please hit the donate button!
