4th Annual Crabfries for Heroes is scheduled Friday, July 13th from 11am - midnight.
PHILADELPHIA, July 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, thousands and thousands of orders of world famous Crabfries® will once again be offered for a good cause. Friday will mark Chickie's & Pete's 4th annual Crabfries for Heroes fundraising event to support the families of fallen police officers.
Crabfries® for Heroes sees all participating full-service Chickie's & Pete's locations serving their world famous Crabfries® for only $1 per order. The iconic restaurant group will also be offering $5 Miller Lite Personal Pitchers that day. Sales from each order of Crabfries® and each Miller Lite Personal Pitcher will go to The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivors Fund.
"Police officers need our support, they need everyone's support," said Chickie's & Pete's founder and Chairman Pete Ciarrocchi. "Officers need to know we have their backs and if something happens to them we will be there to support their families."
Crabfries® for Heroes started as a simple idea to say "Thanks" to police officers for their service. After seeing the need firsthand, Pete Ciarrocchi and his team decided to make a major commitment to The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivors Fund. To date, Chickie's & Pete's has raised well over $50,000 through Crabfries® for Heroes.
"Pete is a larger than life guy who has a heart that is simply unbelievable," said John McNesby, President of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5. "We have quietly gone to Pete and Chickie's & Pete's time and time again for help and we have never been turned away, in fact we are always embraced. This man and his team live their lives by being a part of our community every day and supporting our officers day in and day out."
In addition to raising funds, Chickie's & Pete's will make sure police officers in the region are well-fed this Friday, they will take their Crabfries® Express truck on the road to feed officers in multiple police districts.
