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.”
"Crabfries for Heroes has historically demonstrated how passionate and generous our customer base is,” said Ciarrochi. “Traditions like these provide fantastic opportunities to gather the Chickie’s community to raise money and awareness for a great cause."
Crabfries® for Heroes started as a simple idea to say “Thank you” to police officers for their service and dedication to their communities. After seeing the need firsthand, Ciarrocchi and his team decided to make a major commitment to The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivors Fund.
