All during April, Glory Days Grill in Centreville will donate 10 percent of all food and drink receipts to the upcoming Police Unity Tour, May 9-12. And area residents can contribute toward the cause.
The Tour is a 230-mile bicycle ride that benefits the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund honoring federal, state and local law enforcement officers who’ve died in the line of duty. Locally, the ride goes from Richmond to Charlottesville, to Warrenton to Washington, D.C.
Centreville’s Kevin Whalen, a former federal agent, will participate for his 10th year with the Tour’s Chapter IV contingent, led by Fairfax County police. And Glory Days, at 13850 Braddock Road, in the Old Centreville Crossing Shopping Center, is helping with his fundraising for the event.
To lend a hand, Whalen will need people’s original, detailed receipts from Glory Days. Email him at kevwhalens@gmail.com for his mailing address. Donations to the Tour may also be made at his fundraising page, www.tinyurl.com/kevwhalen.
