Sale Of T-Shirts Honoring Fallen South Jersey Trooper Tops $4,000

WEST DEPTFORD, NJ — As of Monday afternoon, 149 of the t-shirts in honor of fallen New Jersey State Trooper Sean Cullen have been sold, the t-shirt's maker told Patch.

Each t-shirt costs $30, Frank DeFalco the owner of The Tournament Clothing Company — the company that made the t-shirts — told Patch. Five dollars from each t-shirt's sale goes to the Trooper Sean Cullen Memorial Fund, DeFalco added.

So, in total, $4,470 has been raised from the sale of the t-shirts and of that total, $745 will go to the fund, which provides students with scholarships, according to the fund's Charity Navigator page.

The sale of the t-shirts reopens Tuesday morning and will continue for 2 weeks after that, DeFalco said. Any t-shirts ordered during that time frame will not arrive until after this weekend's baseball tournament that includes Teti's team, DeFalco added.

The t-shirts can be bought by visiting The Tournament Clothing Company's website or by clicking here.

The t-shirts were the idea of Corporal Frank Teti of the West Deptford Township Police Department, who was at the scene when Cullen was killed in the aftermath of a 2016 car crash along Interstate 295. Cullen, who lived in Cinnaminson at the time of his death, was 31 years old.

Teti also coaches a 9U baseball team, the Main Street Mashers. The team and its coaches will be wearing the t-shirts during the Thin Blue Line Tournament that takes place this Friday through Sunday in Franklinville.

Patch reported more details about the sales of the t-shirts last week.
