Reilly’s Daughter Online Store Now Open For T-Shirts Honoring Fallen Chicago Firefighter

OAK LAWN, IL—Southsiders stepped up and bought out the entire initial run of 500 T-shirts commemorating fallen CPD Officer John Bartholomew during in-person sales last Friday at Reilly’s Daughter in Oak Lawn. The bar is renowned for supporting the families of first responders who died in the line of duty.

Reilly’s Daughter’s online store is now open, and includes short- and long-sleeved tees, crewneck sweatshirts, and hoodies. The items will be available for purchase through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, May 10. Visit the Reilly’s Daughter “John Bartholomew Family Fundraiser” online store. Available sizes come in S-3X. Merchandise will be shipped two weeks after ordering.

Co-owner Brenden O’Brien said the bar has already received orders before the online store opened from across the country.

Officer Bartholomew leaves a wife and three children. One hundred percent of the proceeds from sales will be given to his family.

Visitation and funeral services for the fallen officer will be held May 7 and May 8, respectively, at St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church, 5649 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago.
