Through this
Chicago Lodge 7 President Kevin Graham is joined by members of the FOP Board and office staff in exhibiting the replica Chicago Police car door that Chicago White Sox players autographed for an Easterseals fundraiser. The door will be auctioned off in September as the latest in a series of heartfelt actions that have been part of Chicago Lodge 7’s amazing support for this important organization that helps so many kids and families. The story behind this door is also nothing short of amazing.
