The Heroes of Denton County is a non-profit, charitable organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas.  It exists to respond within twenty four (24) hours with emergency funds to the family, or families, of any Law Enforcement Officer or Firefighter from any department within Denton County who loses their life, or suffers serious injury in the line of duty.  That response will mean that the family, or families, of our fallen heroes will not have to endure the pain of instant financial peril while at the mercy of their unrelenting grief.

The Heroes of Denton County represents the arms of our entire community reaching out to embrace the families of those individuals who daily put their lives in harm’s way to protect us and by doing so may one day be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice.

We all hope that “day” will never come.  We all know that some day, it will.  When it does, grief will wash across the entire county one heart at a time.  On that day, we will all want to do something to help, however it is within those first overwhelming hours that the family, or families, involved will be in the greatest need.

Through ‘Heroes’, all of us will be there, precisely when we are needed most.  It is for that dreadful day we all pray will never come, that we must prepare.  September 11^th  compels us to prepare.
