Fundraiser for the family of Christopher O'Connor...

The Buchanan Engine Company is conducting a 50/50 raffle to raise money for the family of Chris O'Connor. The drawing will be held at our annual clam bake on Sunday, October 10, 2004. Tickets are only $1 each, so it won't kill anyones piggy bank! All proceeds will go to the O'Connor family!

As many of you will recall, Chris was a firefighter with the Buchanan Engine Company. Chris, along with another worker, were killed in a man-hole explosion in Yonkers. They were both employed by Con-Edison where Chris was a foreman on the job. Chris leaves behind a wife and 5 young children, so they could use all the help they can get.

If you are interested in purchasing a ticket, please contact me via private message on this Network. Also, you may call the firehouse at (914) 737-5010 & ask for President/Ex-Chief Bob Outhouse for tickets.

Again, the O'Connor family could really use all the help we can give them, so even if you buy 1 ticket, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all,

2nd Lt. Michael Swankie

Buchanan Engine Co.

UPDATE: The 50/50 raffle for the family of Chris O'Connor brought in approximately $7,000. The winner of the raffle was a fellow Con-Ed employee & was generous enough to donate the money back to the O'Connor family. So, needless to say, the raffle was a success & the O'Connors now have a little extra to help out the family. We were all very pleased with this raffle & thank you to anyone who bought any tickets!
