11-99 Foundation

**Dodge2Dub** · 06-25-2008 03:52 PM

Since the 11-99 Foundation isn't giving plates out anymore (if anybody has heard differently please let me know), I am considering buying one second hand, but still donating the requisite amount (or more) to the organization. Is this foolish considering I won't have the requisite badge/member card? Any CHP care to comment?

I wish they would start the program again....I missed it by 2 months when I originally spoke to their president about a donation.

^^i think now it's up to 15k to become a member! i will say that knock on wood it has saved us from quite a few tickets, but i better find a lock so people don't steal my plate since it is so expensive!

The one that I was looking at buying was stolen this week, so I'd say that a lock is a good idea. On the other hand, 11-99 only charges $50 for the replacement, which I'm sure you can deduct as a charitable contribution.
