Event Recap:
An Evening With Bret Baier
This summer, prominent civic and business leader John Kelly Jr. and the Chicago Police Foundation hosted a memorable evening celebrating the release of The Case for America: An Argument on Behalf of Our Nation, the latest book from #1 New York Times bestselling author and Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
Held over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at LUXBAR, guests had the chance to meet Bret, hear from him directly, and have their copies signed. Every book purchased that evening went directly to the Chicago Police Foundation in support of the men and women of the Chicago Police Department.
The night was a powerful show of support, bringing together prominent Chicago leaders and friends of the Foundation behind a shared commitment to those who serve and protect our city. We’re grateful to John Kelly Jr., to Bret Baier, and to everyone who joined us and gave so generously.
