Benefit for the Fike Family

During the early morning hours on January 21st, 2006 a fire swept through the residence of the Fike family in Beach Park, Illinois .  Kenneth Fike, his wife, and three adult children lost literally everything except the clothing on their backs.  Thankfully everyone successfully evacuated the house in time prior to the total loss.

Kenneth Fike is a 14 year veteran of the Lake County Sheriff's Office 911 center and is currently assigned to the day shift.  Kenny has been a Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 member since its charter has begun.

Fundraising efforts are in the works, however due to the total loss that the family has received, the Lake County Sheriff's Office and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 66 are asking your immediate assistance in providing the family some of the necessities of life such as clothing.  Clothing sizes and personal needs can be viewed here (updated 02/01/06).

Currently, items may be dropped off at the Lake County Sheriff's Office Highway Patrol substation located at 1301 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville .  Any questions can be directed to the office at 847-377-7020 during business hours, or the 911 center at 847-377-7117 after hours.  A current list of donated items is also available in the 911 center if you wish to see what items have been donated thus far.

More information will be available shortly as fundraising efforts will be continuing , and we wish to thank you in advance for your efforts.
