Chickie’s & Pete’s will present the 5th Annual Crabfries® for Heroes on National French Fry Day on Saturday, July 13th from 11 a.m. to midnight.

On Saturday, thousands of orders of world-famous Crabfries® will once again be offered for an amazing cause for only $1 each. Saturday will mark Chickie’s & Pete’s 5th annual Crabfries for Heroes fundraising event to support the families of fallen police officers. This year’s goal is to beat a record and raise $40,000.

Crabfries® for Heroes sees all participating full-service Chickie’s & Pete’s locations serving their world famous Crabfries® for only $1 per order. The iconic restaurant group will also be offering $5 Miller Lite Personal Pitchers that day. Sales from each order of Crabfries® and each Miller Lite Personal Pitcher will go to The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivors Fund.

Crabfries® for Heroes started as a simple idea to say “Thank you” to police officers for their service and dedication to their communities. After seeing the need firsthand, Pete Ciarrocchi and his team decided to make a major commitment to The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivors Fund.

To date, Chickie’s & Pete’s has raised well over $80,000 through Crabfries® for Heroes.

In addition to raising funds, Chickie’s & Pete’s will make sure police officers in the region are well-fed this Saturday. They will take their Crabfries® Express truck on the road to feed officers in multiple police districts throughout the city of Philadelphia.
