Thackray Crane Celebrates a Decade of Dedication to the Fallen Hero Wreath Program

Thackray Crane has long been a pillar of support for the Fallen Hero Wreath Program, a touching initiative dedicated to honoring law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. This year, the program celebrated its 10th anniversary, a milestone marked by the heartfelt acceptance of an award by Eddie Cullen, representing Thackray Crane, for their unwavering commitment.

The Fallen Hero Wreath Program, inspired by the family of Philadelphia Police Officer John Pawlowski, who was tragically killed in the line of duty in 2009, began as a small, heartfelt tribute. The program has since blossomed into a national movement, laying wreaths at the gravesites of fallen officers across the United States during the winter holiday season. From its humble beginnings—starting with just 18 gravesites—the program now boasts chapters in multiple states, ensuring that the legacy of heroes like Officer Pawlowski continues to inspire and honor.

Thackray Crane’s involvement goes beyond mere participation. Over the years, the company has been instrumental in supporting the program, whether by hanging American flags or being present at police events and funerals when called upon. Their dedication is a testament to their respect and gratitude towards those who have served and protected their communities.

This year, the Fallen Hero Wreath Program introduced an annual gala, an event orchestrated by Michelle Pawlowski and Shannon Sperduto. The gala was a heartfelt gathering aimed at expressing appreciation to the program’s supporters, with Thackray Crane being prominently acknowledged. The event was not only a celebration of the program’s achievements but also a chance to strengthen the community that continues to uphold the memory of fallen officers.

Eddie Cullen stood proudly at this gala, accepting the award on behalf of Thackray Crane, reflecting the company’s deep-rooted values and ongoing dedication to the cause. It was a moment that underscored the spirit of collaboration and remembrance that lies at the heart of the Fallen Hero Wreath Program.

As the program continues to grow, spreading its message of honor and remembrance, supporters like Thackray Crane are essential to its success. Their commitment ensures that the memory of fallen law enforcement officers is preserved, their sacrifices never forgotten, and their legacy an enduring source of inspiration for future generations.
