Reilly’s Daughter Donates Food Sales To Fallen Officers’ Families

OAK LAWN, IL -- If you’re running around this Sunday (Dec. 23) finishing up your Christmas shopping or coming home from church, stop by Reilly’s Daughter in Oak Lawn, 4010 W 111th St. The Irish pub will be donating 100 percent of food sales to the CPD memorial funds set up for the families of fallen Officers Conrad Gary and Eduardo Marmolejo. The kitchen opens at 11 a.m.

“Yet again we are a city in mourning. We are heartbroken over the tragic loss of Officers Marmolejo and Gary, who leave behind their wives and young children. We wish to show a small token of our gratitude and sympathy to their families and to all those who serve and protect.~ The O'Brien Family and Reilly's Daughter Staff"

Live music is being donated by Tim Fitz and Friends, starting at 6 p.m. The kitchen will be 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Both officers are from the area. Gary was raised in Oak Lawn and a 2005 graduate of Oak Lawn Community High School. At the time of his death, he, wife Kelly, and infant daughter Tess resided in Mount Greenwood. Marmolejo was a married father of three daughters. The family lived in West Beverly.

Reilly’s Daughter did a similar effort in February, when the pub donated food sales to memorial funds set up for Commander Paul Bauer, who was fatally shot as he pursued a suspicious person near the Thompson Center downtown.

In addition to food sales, Reilly’s Daughter is also requesting monetary donations and gift cards. GoFundMe accounts have been set up for the families of Conrad Gary and Eduardo Marmolejo.
