We've Raised Over $300,000 For The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation In Honor Of Officer Ella French. Let's Keep It Going With One More Big Push This Week!
Seriously incredible and outstanding but not the least bit surprising. Anytime the bell tolls, Stoolies heed the call. Every time since the company began.
It's amazing. And this occurrence is no different.
$300,000 raised in 9 days.
Great news on what would otherwise be a very somber day.
ABC Chicago - Visitation for fallen Chicago police Officer Ella French will be held Wednesday.
The visitation will be held from 3 to 9 p.m. at St. Rita of Cascia Shrine in Chicago. The Chicago Police Department's chaplain will give the homily at Wednesday's visitation.
Father Dan Brandt said French's death has been traumatic for fellow officers.
"There are a lot of hurting souls out there right now, and we're doing our best to bring comfort and peace," he said.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at the same church.
The internment is private.
Officers from around the city continue to mourn for the 29-year-old member of the department's Community Safety Team.
Prayers and condolences to Officer French's family and her fellow officers.
A giant thank you to everybody that has supported so far.
We've also got our guy Eddie hosting an awesome night of comedy at one of our favorite spots, Joe's On Weed St. next Thursday night, where 100% of proceeds will go to the Memorial Foundation as well.
Get your tickets here before they sell out. They will sell out. We will all be there supporting and slamming Miller Lite's, supporting an amazing cause, and laughing our asses off listening to Chris Bader, Correy Bell, Pat Tomasulo, and Joe Kilgallon.
If you haven't yet, please scoop up a shirt this week so we can get one last push going. If you'd rather no shirt, you can donate directly to the Memorial Foundation right here.
