Thank You Notes
At the Third Annual True Blue Event, members and supporters of the Chicago Police Foundation expressed their gratitude to Chicago Police Officer
I’d like them to know that we are supportive and extremely grateful for all the work they do on behalf of all citizens of Chicago. We know that they put their lives on the line every day and we will do everything in our power to help the CPD in providing the resources and outreach programs that are available through our fundraising e orts. This is the reason our Foundation was formed, and we will work diligently to ful ll our mission.
Mary Ann Rose
Chicago Police Foundation Executive Director
I really appreciate everything you do to keep us safe every day. I know police sometimes get a bad rap. It’s not fair. They put their lives on the line every day and not everyone can do that.
Austin Schlesser
Earnst and Young
Thank you. Thank you for everything. I want you to know that there are people who believe in your department, who believe in your e orts more than ever.
Alex Hutchinson

I think anyone who serves for law in the community, including my uncle Emil, who was a Police O cer – they deserve respect. They deserve support and we should do anything we can to support them.
Paula Endress whose husband is an executive with McDonald’s
If it wasn’t for police o cers, we wouldn’t enjoy the society we live in. They are out on the front line every day. We appreciate the work they do. I can’t say enough for them risking their lives so we can live the good life.
David St. Pierre
Water Reclamation District Executive Director
Thank you for everything you do. And do not let the groundswell of public opinion deter you from your mission. You are doing what is right for our community and protecting people. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Collette Taylor, who purchased “lunch with the superintendent” in the True Blue auction
I have a message of thanks. I know how hard it is to keep our city safe. To keep our community safe. I just have the deepest of appreciation for everything the Chicago Police Department does in furthering our safety and caring for the residents of the city.
Rana Komar Weber-Shandwick CPF board member
A big thank you. Continue to do the great job for whatever you can for us, and we hope to get the cooperation of the city to make sure that they know our organiza- tion cares very much for police o cers.
Camille Julny
CBRE Real Estate CPF board member
I am a 40-year old father of three boys – 5, 3 and three months. I look at them every day. And I look at the world that we live in. This is a hard place to live. No matter where you are in the world. And I just want to say, thank you for doing what you do to make me and my wife and my family safe not only today but in the future. I feel con dent living in this city because of what you do.
Tony DiPaolo Laz Parking CPF Secretary
First and foremost, we want the Department and all of its o cers to know that what they do each and every day to protect and serve our city and our communities is greatly appreciated. And, the Foundation is committed to supporting their needs for equipment and training and other Department initiatives that will help keep them safe and allow them to do their jobs more e ectively. We also want to acknowledge the genuine dedication and e orts of o cers working to build stronger relation- ships with residents in the neighborhoods they serve.
