Local Restaurant Rallies Neighbors to Honor Fallen Agent Nicholas Graham and Support Law Enforcement Families
Running from Thursday, November 12 through Sunday, November 22, the restaurant at 1509 Wadsworth Blvd. is donating 10% of all in-store sales directly to the Lakewood Police Employee Assistance Foundation. This organization provides vital support to the families and colleagues of local police personnel, including Agent Graham’s family and the three additional agents wounded in the incident.
“During moments like this, it’s important for communities to come together and support the people who dedicate their lives to protecting us,” said Ian Ruppel, Lakewood Franchise Owner for Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. “Every donation made during this fundraiser is an opportunity to stand behind the Lakewood Police Department and the families and colleagues of those who serve. We encourage our neighbors to join us in showing their support.”
