Fund for Cinnaminson's Sean Cullen Exceeds $95,000 in 2 Days

Cinnaminson, NJ -- The creator of a memorial fund set up in honor of fallen New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen, of Cinnaminson, thanked those who have helped raise over $95,000 in just over two days on Friday. She also recognized those who came out to celebrate Cullen’s life on Thursday night.

“Thank you to everyone who was able to come out last night to support Sean's memory, and thank you for your continued support here,” Delise Barron wrote in a post on the Trooper Sean Cullen Memorial Fund GoFundMe page. “Time is such a gift, and the time you've taken to share this fundraiser, attend the vigil, and relay memories you have of Sean is much appreciated. Please continue to share and keep Trooper Cullen's family in your thoughts and prayers.”

Between 300 and 400 people turned out for the memorial on Thursday night, according to 6 ABC. Friends and family paid tribute to Cullen, including Westampton Police Sgt. Daryl Caulfied, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Paul Massey and Cullen’s best friend Brian Cosby.

As of Friday afternoon, the fund had raised $95,575.

Gov. Chris Christie signed an executive order calling for all state buildings to fly flags at half-staff on Monday in Cullen's honor.

"Every day, the men and women of the New Jersey State Police put their lives on the line to protect our citizens,” Christie said. “The sudden and tragic loss of New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen reminds us how fragile life truly is and the dangers police officers face daily on the job. As we mourn his passing, Mary Pat and I extend our heartfelt condolences to Trooper Cullen’s loved ones and his New Jersey State Police family during this sad time.”

Cullen died of head injuries following an accident on 295 in Gloucester County in which he was struck by a passing driver while responding to the scene of an accident and active fire Monday night.
