From the Penguins:

Fund Established by F.O.P. to Support Families of Three Slain Officers; Pens to Collect Donations Before Thursday’s Game vs. NY Islanders

The Pittsburgh Penguins will collect donations for the “Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund” before Thursday’s 7:30 p.m. game against the New York Islanders at Mellon Arena. The fund has been established by the Fraternal Order of Police to support the families of the three officers slain in the line of duty Saturday in Stanton Heights – Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo.

“The Pittsburgh Penguins organization joins the community in extending deepest sympathy to the families and friends of these three brave officers,” said team president David Morehouse. “By holding a collection at Thursday’s game we will enable our fans to contribute to the Fallen Heroes Fund, which will assist the officers’ families.”

Checks may be made out to the “Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund.” The Penguins also will collect cash donations. Those wishing to donate directly by mail may send their checks to the Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund, Greater Pittsburgh Police Federal Credit Union, 1338 Chartiers Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15220. For more information, call the Greater Pittsburgh Police FCU at 412-922-4800, or log on to http://www.pittsburghpolicefop.com or http://www.pittsburghpolicefcu.com.

About The Confluence

Welcome to The Confluence, a Pittsburgh Penguins blog since 2006. Originally at Blogspot, then at MVN, The Confluence has over 1000 articles reporting Penguins news as well as jumping on my soapbox to opine constructive Penguins criticism. My posts are regularly linked by hockey websites such as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Empty Netters and Yahoo!’s Puck Daddy, and I’ve done guest blogger spots on such websites as the New York Times. I invite you to spend a little time and peruse the archives at all of the sites for some of my better work. I am a retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer, but don’t confuse me with my fellow Chief at A2Y.
