ADC Raises Funds for Fallen Officer

	David Uribe

Arizona Department of Corrections employees will raise funds to assist the family of fellow law enforcement Officer David Uribe. Officer Uribe was killed in the line of duty while on patrol for the Phoenix Police Department on Tuesday, May 10.

We are asking for employees to volunteer their time at two valley car wash fundraisers this Sunday, May 22 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the following locations:

Paradise Car Wash, 43rd Avenue south of Bell Road

Typhoon Car Wash, 43rd Avenue south of Northern Avenue.

Volunteers will be asked to prep the cars by pre-washing the wheels and dry them with towels once they have gone through the automatic car washes.

Owners of the two car washes have agreed to donate 100 percent of the day's proceeds from the automatic car washes to a survivor's account processed through the 100 Club, an organization that provides immediate financial support to public safety officers and firefighters who are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.

As part of the law enforcement community, Arizona Department of Corrections officers risk their lives daily to ensure the safety and security of the public. When tragedy strikes, the 100 Club is an agency ADC officers can depend on for financial support.

During the past two years, through the State Employees Charitable Campaign, the 100 Club received nearly $190,000 in contributions from corrections employees.

If you are interested in volunteering at either location, please give me a call as soon as possible.
