The Military Police Fund for Blind Children is established as a registered Charitable Corporation. 

The MPFBC was first informally established in 1957 by Army Provost Marshal Colonel James Riley Stone after his daughter Moira passed away from cancer of the eye.  Throughout its history, this registered charity, which is run and managed entirely by MP volunteers, has raised thousands of dollars to provide assistance to visually impaired children.
