Oak Forest Police Association hasn't added a story.
Hello Supporters,
We are trying to acquire one of the German Shepherd statues
which is part of the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation's public art
initiative. They are making up to 200 individual 54" tall statues
that will be displayed downtown from July 23rd through Labor Day, and
with your help, it's final destination will be right back home here in
Oak Forest to be proudly displayed near the entrance of our municipal
building for all to enjoy.
Resident and nonresidents alike have been great supporters of our Department’s 3 past K9 Units. K9 Dakota, K9 Orry, and K9 Pitt were beloved and loyal members of our department. In addition to our official work functions of locating criminals and illicit drugs, our units have always had a very public presence in the community. We have participated in yearly National Night Out demonstrations, made appearances at local block parties, DARE graduation ceremonies, Community Awareness Fairs, and have even donated K9 demonstrations as raffle prizes for local school charities.
We would love to show our appreciation to our 4 legged officers who have served the residents of Oak Forest and beyond by raising the funds to acquire one of these beautiful art pieces to pay tribute for their hard work and loyalty. The statue will be custom designed and painted by a local artist to reflect our City and K9 Unit's history.
The cost of the statue is $2000, but with an additional $500 donation the sponsor will be able to take it home in lieu of it being auctioned off. Please help us reach the $2500 needed to bring this work of art home to Oak Forest.
Donations can be mailed or dropped off at the Oak Forest Police Department located at 15440 Central Ave, Oak Forest, IL 60452. Make checks payable to the Oak Forest Police Association with a note in the memo line for K9 Memorial.
We thank you for your generous support.
