Overview
- St. Patrick High School students ran a drive‑thru coffee sale Wednesday morning, sending 100% of proceeds to the families of Officer John Bartholomew and Firefighter Michael Altman.
- Reilly’s Daughter in Oak Lawn will begin in‑person T‑shirt sales Friday evening to support Bartholomew’s family, with online orders to follow once the first batch sells out.
- Outlets list different Friday start times for the bar’s sales, with reports ranging from about 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- Bartholomew, a 10‑year Chicago police veteran, was shot and killed Saturday at Swedish Hospital while escorting an armed‑robbery suspect, and his 57‑year‑old partner was also shot and remains in critical condition.
- The bar’s owner says the business has run similar first‑responder fundraisers before, reflecting long ties to police and fire families that also shaped the student‑run coffee shop’s first drive‑thru event.
