The Oak Park Fire Department hosted a charity benefit at the Avenue Ale House in Oak Park on Sunday, September 13th during the Bears vs. Packers game. Our Oak Park pizzeria supported the event by serving our famous deep dish pizza and raffling off a few Lou’s gift baskets. Although the Bears unfortunately lost, the event was still a success!
All proceeds from the event went to the Patrick Luby Foundation and Ride Janie Ride, both 501(c)(3) organizations. The Patrick Luby Foundation is in memory of Lieutenant Patrick Luby, an Oak Park fire fighter who lost his life in the line of duty. The Foundation provides scholarships to Oak Park River Forest High School students pursuing careers in teaching. Ride Janie Ride provides direct financial assistance to people in the Chicagoland area facing financial hardship as a result of ongoing medical treatment of various types of cancer.
