Linden Police Chief David Hart joined Linden Police Benevolent Association Local #42 President Joseph Appello and Linden Police Superior Officers Association President Airan Fernandez to announce that the Department raised $5,000 in its annual “No Shave November” event. This year, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was selected as the beneficiary.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to honoring and supporting our nation’s military and first responders and their families. Tunnel to Towers provides mortgage-free smart homes to our nation’s catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, and mortgage payoffs to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children.
In 2021, the Foundation provided these heroes and their families with over 200 mortgage-free homes. The organization’s Chairman and CEO, Frank Siller, is an uncompensated volunteer, and an incredible 95% of monies raised goes directly to programs and services that support of our First Responders and Military.
“Tunnel to Towers is such an incredible organization, and I am incredibly proud to be able to join Presidents Appello and Fernandez in making this donation,” said Police Chief David Hart. “I would like to personally thank Frank, and all of the Tunnel to Towers staff and volunteers, for their incredible efforts in support our first responders and military over the past twenty plus years.”
Last week, Chief Hart joined Mayor Derek Armstead, and Presidents Appello and Fernandez at the Tunnel to Towers Offices in Staten Island, NY where they met with Frank and presented him with the donation.
“We want to thank everyone who put away their razors in order to raise money through No Shave November. The money raised by Linden Police will be used to support their fellow first responders in need,” said Siller.
