Officers Carlos Yanez and Steve Kotlewski attended a fundraiser in Rosemont supporting police officers killed and wounded in the line of duty.
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Supporters of law enforcement gathered in Rosemont Friday night to raise money for wounded officers and the families of those killed in the line of duty.
almost four months ago. And just a few feet away was Chicago police Officer Carlos Yanez, dressed to the nines and more than happy to jam along. The two kindred spirits never crossed paths until tonight. "Oh my God, it's a blessing to be here," Yanez said. The fact that he's here and walking is an accomplishment. The smile, he says, is from the company around him.
The crowd came to help with more than positive energy. Sponsored by the Illinois Public Pension Fund, the event hoped to raise thousands of dollars to help fund the medical healing for injured officers, and provide some stability and relief for the officers' families who are also healing.
