Pancake Breakfast
@ St. Robert Bellarmine
Sunday, April 12, 2026
10am-12pm

A vest isn’t bulletproof forever. It wears out. It breaks down. It needs to be replaced every 5 years. And just one bullet permanently damages a vest, making it unusable. Chicago police officers are responsible for replacing their own vests. At $500 or more per vest, in addition to other equipment and uniform expenses, the costs can quickly add up. That’s why we need your help. Your donation ensures that every officer out there protecting you is protected. 
Join Alderman Jim Gardiner, members of the 45th Ward, and the St. Robert Bellarmine community as they gather to raise fund in support of the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation's Get Behind the Vest program.
If you are unable to attend, you can still donate!
*Please note this is a donation only page.  Admittance to the Pancake Breakfast will be collected in-person only at the door.
