Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)
- Pawnbrokers across the country are honored to help this fine organization continue their mission of "rebuilding shattered lives" of the surviving family members and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. C.O.P.S. is a national, not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization with 50 chapters throughout the United States, that gives scholarships to surviving spouses and children of fallen law enforcement officers. C.O.P.S. believes that higher education for any child should not be put in jeopardy or disrupted because of the unforeseen tragedy that has befallen the family, and that educating a surviving spouse only ensures that the family will be better off financially. C.O.P.S. is proud to announce the organization has just surpassed the
$1 million mark in scholarships. To learn more and/or contribute directly, please visit

Autism Education Center -
Our online Autism Education Center focuses on educating, learning, relating and
supporting anyone who has an interest or is affected by Autism. We hope to use
these key elements to build self esteem and confidence in all and any lives
touched by Autism. We intend to bring Autism into the public eye and in so doing
dismiss many of the misconceptions that surround autism.
Our physical center for autistic children is located in Lynn Haven, Florida and
is staffed by nurses, therapists and local educators to name a few. Thanks
to our St. Andrews Store Manager, Mr. Daniel Soto, for his support of AEC!
