In 1948 Officer Joe Hale, himself an orphan, created the Orphans Fund. Officer Hale along with other officers dug into their own pockets in order to provide Christmas to the surviving children of deceased police officers. In 1973 it was officially named the Denver Police Orphans’ Fund and in 1976 it was granted 501c3 status. Since 1977 officers have made payroll deductions to the Fund to continue to help police orphans through college.

Lakewood Community Acupuncture’s March Donation Days will go to this heart warming cause. From this Monday, March 4th to Friday, March 8th, during World Orphan Week, book an appointment at LCA and a percentage of proceeds will go to orphans who lost their parents in the line of duty.

You can also purchase the Challenge Coins (pictured above) on the Denver Police Orphans’ Fund website for $15 to support the cause.
