🚒🔥 Community in Action! 💙💛

The Chicago Ridge Lions Club was proud to participate in the Chicago Ridge Fire Department Open House on October 1st! It was a wonderful evening of family fun, fire-safety education, community resources, and neighbors coming together.

We enjoyed meeting families, connecting with fellow community organizations, and sharing a little Lions spirit along the way.

A huge thank you to the Chicago Ridge Fire Department, first responders, participating organizations, volunteers, and everyone who came out and made the evening special.

When our community comes together, everybody wins.

💙 Please Help Support the Family of Richard Bacorn 💙

It is with great sadness that we share the tragic passing of Chicago Ridge EMA Officer Richard Bacorn.

Richard dedicated his time to serving others and helping protect our community through his service with Chicago Ridge EMA. His passing is a heartbreaking loss to his family, his fellow EMA members, first responders, friends, and the entire Chicago Ridge community.

Richard leaves behind a 2-year-old son, who will now have to grow up without his father. During this unimaginable time, we ask our community to come together and support Richard’s family and his young son.

Any donation, no matter the amount, can help the family with the expenses they are facing. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Richard’s son, family, and his Chicago Ridge EMA family in your thoughts and prayers.

🙏 Please join us in supporting the Bacorn family and honoring Richard’s dedication to serving our community.

In memory of Richard Bacorn It is with unimaginable sadness that George is sharing… George Villies needs your support for Support Richard Bacorn’s Family
