The St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF) is a 501(c)(3), truck driver charity that helps drivers whose medical problems have led to financial hardship. The SCF is also working to provide programs that will benefit professional drivers and the trucking industry such pre-physical, in-cab sleep studies, free flu shots, mammograms, and a health challenge.

Who Started SCF? After witnessing hundreds of truck drivers and their families struggle to survive as a result of catastrophic illness or injury, Dave Nemo, host of the Dave Nemo Show (XM Radio Channel 171 – Open Road) and his partner Michael Burns were compelled to take action. They found a willing partner in Dr. John McElligott (“Dr. John”). Together, they launched a truck driver charity to come to the aid of professional drivers in need. The organization was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in November, 2007.

The Mission: The SCF helps truck drivers and their families who have financial needs due to medical problems. Assistance may be in the form of direct payment for medical services or prescription drugs, assistance with expenses while recovering from illness and out of work, and/or providing information on how to negotiate price reductions with medical providers and hospitals.

Donors and Beneficiaries: Donations to the SCF have been received from individuals and corporations sensitive to the needs of professional drivers. As of May 30, 2015 the SCF has helped 1,297drivers and their families with $1,005,411.20in financial assistance.
