Community gathers to honor fallen Philadelphia Officer Andy Chan at annual block party

The 6th annual Officer Andy Chan Holiday Block Party went on as planned Thursday night in Northern Liberties, drawing crowds to honor the Philadelphia police officer more than a week after his death.

Chan, 55, died Dec. 2 after nearly seven years of intensive care following a 2019 on-duty crash in which a driver struck his motorcycle. The annual fundraiser, held at Craft Hall and organized by the Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation, supported him during his long recovery.
