On Monday, April 29, 2024, law enforcement officers from the U.S. Marshals Task Force and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department were attempting to serve a felony warrant on a suspect when he opened fire from inside a house.  The heroes above were mortally wounded and four additional officers were injured and expected to survive.  This type of call is common in the day of a law enforcement officer and each of them knows they may not make it home.  Despite that, these brave men and women walk into danger time and time again willing to risk their lives for others.  

​

The death of these officers will forever be honored.  They all leave behind families and many more who loved them.  The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #9 Foundation has established a fundraiser in their honor.  The proceeds will be split between the four families to help with necessary expenses.  Our Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3).  

​

The FOP will pay all online transaction and processing fees up to $1,500 so that 100% of the proceeds to this point go to the families.  For individuals and businesses who prefer to pay by check can mail them to us at 1201 Hawthorne Lane, Charlotte, NC 28205.  Make check payable to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg FOP Foundation.
