Shopping night at Fairway for Figoski Scholarship Fund

FAIRWAY MARKET TO DONATE PROCEEDS OF SALES FROM RED HOOK, PLAINVIEW, AND DOUGLASTON STORES TO OFFICER PETER FIGOSKI SCHOLARSHIP FUND ON JANUARY 5

Fairway Market will honor the memory of fallen New York Police Department Officer Peter Figoski by donating 10% of all sales from its Red Hook, Plainview, and Douglaston locations from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday, January 5 to the scholarship fund established in his memory at the New York City Police Foundation.

Officer Figoski was killed in the line of duty by a ruthless thug on Dec. 12 while aiding colleagues responding to a home invasion in Brooklyn.  He left behind four teenage daughters – Christine, an undergraduate at SUNY Oneonta, Caitlyn, an undergraduate at SUNY Plattsburgh, and Caroline and Christine, both high school students in West Babylon, LI.

To ensure that they not be deprived of pursuing their college educations and professional aspirations, the NY Police Foundation established The Peter Figoski Scholarship Fund.  Nearly $1.7 million has been donated since the fund’s creation.
