HOLLYWOOD POLICE OFFICERS' GOLF TOURNAMENT CHARITY EVENT

On October 18, 2021, Hollywood Police Officer Yandy Chirino made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting the community he proudly served. Five years later, Yandy&rsquo;s courage, dedication, and friendship continue to live on in the hearts of his family, fellow officers, friends, and the entire Hollywood community. To commemorate the fifth anniversary of his End of Watch, the Hollywood Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 24 is proud to organize the Fifth Annual Officer Yandy Chirino Memorial Luncheon for the officers and staff of the Hollywood Police Department. This luncheon is more than a meal. It is an opportunity for Yandy&rsquo;s law-enforcement family to come together, share memories, support one another, and ensure that his service and sacrifice are never forgotten. We are asking members of our community, local businesses, and supporters of law enforcement to help make this meaningful event possible. Every contribution, regardless of the amount, will help cover the cost of food, beverages, supplies, and other expenses associated with the luncheon. All donations will first fund the Fifth Annual Officer Yandy Chirino Memorial Luncheon. Any funds raised beyond the event cost will support the mission of the HEROES Foundation. Please join us in honoring Officer Yandy Chirino and showing his family and fellow officers that our community remembers his life, honors his service, and will never forget his name.
