Michael Gordon Fundraiser
From the Gordon family:
- I know you sometimes promote events on the blog so I was curious if you could help me out by promoting our event. From your postings I'm guessing you aren't Cub fans, but the Michael P. Gordon Memorial Foundation is holding its fourth annual 'Roof Raiser' on Saturday, April 5 as the Cubs take on the Astros. The rooftop at 1010 W. Waveland holds about 200 guests. I have about 30 slots still open and would love to have another sellout.
- We hold two funders a year and donate to various causes reflective of Mike's life. An endowed scholarship has been established at Lewis University. We have made several contributions to the widows/families of POs killed both on and off the job. We have also sponsored family buses during National Police Week in DC the last three years. For us, it keeps a piece of my brother alive and we're able to help some people along the way.
It's not that we aren't Cubs fans - we just aren't baseball fans. But we're happy to promote this event on behalf of the foundation. CLICK HERE for further details.

Sorry can't attend fundraisers anymore I am not allowed to drink. I think you should all know by now that we are under that age of Prohibition again in the Chicago Police Department, it has been read at all the roll calls.
Ever hear of drinking soft drinks or even coffee? Yes, both will be available.
the fact the jfed kept her around shows that not much has or will really change... boo...
sorry scc...last post was meant for the kirby thread..
It's a freaking shame to see hundreds of comments posted on the other threads related to all kinds of nonsense and gossip and this worth cause gets only one by three in the pm. Freaking shame.

hey asshat. this is for a good cause and in the memory of a good copper. take your bs somewhere else. if you cant control yourself or find a safe ride home, then you should seek professional help!
I, for one, will never forget Michael Gordon or for that matter any other police officer that left us much too soon. God bless Mike Gordon's family and God bless police officers everywhere.

you can't have a good time without drinking? Why would you want to drink at a fundraiser where the officer was killed by a DRUNK driver anyway? I will pray for you tonight.

then why don't you stay home and read the reflections on his page. You can still donate, you don't have to attend.

Sounds like a wonderful cause. God bless Michael Gordon and his family.
I'm sure this event will sellout.
Seriously, save the jokes and the sarcasm for other areas of this blog!
Don't take your angst out on this worth cause. Leave your star at home and hide you ID near your driver's license. Drink all you want and pay for the EL ride home. If you're too afraid to do that, you're a sorry case.
Rest in peace officer.
Leave these stupid posts off the blog. its fundraiser for a cop that was the police.
RIP (towtruck)
