Trumbull Police Launch Fundraiser for Officer with Cancer

Things are about to get hairy at the Trumbull Police Department.

Officers are taking part in ”Beards for Borucki” to raise money for 19-year veteran Officer Michael Borucki, who was diagnosed with cancer in early 2013.

Officers who donate $100 will be allowed to sport a beard and $50 lets officers grow a goatee.

Jo David Salon and Boutique of Trumbull will host a shave-off event Jan. 9 with food from Prime One eleven. Bic Corporation based in Milford will donate razors as a show of support.

The event will culminate in a fundraising dinner held at Vazzy’s Four Season in Stratford from 7 to 100 p.m. Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased by calling Sgt. Weir, Detective Testi or Officer Fedor at 203-261-3665.

Any other person or business that wants to support fundraising efforts can contact Detective Robert Coppola at 203-261-3665.
