ABOUT THE CHICAGO POLICE MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
The Run to Remember raises funds and awareness for the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, which provides financial support to families of officers killed or severely injured in the line of duty. Since its inception, the Foundation has built a police memorial that is a national standard-bearer. The Foundation has also donated more than $2 million to family members of Chicago Police officers in need of assistance.
The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation is a not-for- profit organization dedicated to honoring the lives of our fallen heroes. The Foundation provides support and assistance to the families of Chicago Police Officers who were killed or catastrophically injured in the line of duty.
Established in 2004, the Foundation strengthens the relationship between the Chicago Police, its business and civic leaders, and its citizenry. It allows us to express our gratitude to the fallen Officers' families for the ultimate sacrifice of their loved one.
