Fundraiser Launched For Late Newtown Police Sergeant's Family

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA – Newtown Township Police Sgt. Clinton Cunningham tragically died from a brain hemorrhage Monday, March 19 while he was off duty and working out.

And after the loss of a valued community member, law enforcement officer, husband, and father, among many other roles he played, the community is rallying behind his family.

A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to assist the Cunningham family in their time of mourning.

The fundraiser has a goal of $50,000, but nearly $12,000 has been raised in just about an hour of the campaign being launched.

"The funds will go directly to The Newtown Police Officers Association account, and then turned over to his family," the fundraiser page reads. "The fund was established in the hope that his friends, neighbors and brothers in blue can assist Kelly and the kids in the tough days ahead."

Cunningham was a five-year member of the Newtown Township force and previously served with the Philadelphia Police Department for about 10 years.

Cunningham was voted by his colleagues as Newtown Township's 2018 Walt Wolff Award recipient for Officer of the Year just last week.
