The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum has successfully launched the towing industry Survivor Fund. The Survivor Fund is the latest addition to the ITRHFM family and was established to help the families of the men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of service

The men and women of the towing industry assist the motoring public every day of the year, twenty four hours a day in all types of weather and hazardous conditions. The risks that are part of this profession are considerable and result in the tragic loss of upward of 50 towing operators in the line of service annually. Whether providing towing a service or roadside assistance, the fine men and women of the towing industry are risking their lives in everything from simply changing a tire to working complex recoveries at accident scenes. The Survivor Fund provides the families of these fallen towers with a uniform financial gift at the time of their loss.

The Survivor Fund has begun distribution of funds to the families of those men and women who lose their lives in the line of service in the towing industry. Families are eligible for a gift of $1,500 and can apply for these funds by downloading and using this form:
