Indianapolis Restaurants Get Fishy For a Good Cause

THE INDIANAPOLIS DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY ASSOCIATION (IDRHA) ANNOUNCES “FISH FOR FISHBURN” NIGHT AT NUMEROUS RESTAURANTS IN DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2008 TO BENEFIT WOUNDED IMPD OFFICER JASON FISHBURN

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. – Officer Jason “Fish” Fishburn was seriously injured on July 10, 2008 while attempting to arrest a homicide suspect. Jason survived, but his wounds will require expensive long-term rehabilitation.

“The members of the Indianapolis Downtown Restaurant and Hospitality Association are pleased to host this fund raising event for one of our local heroes," said Debra Scott of IDRHA.
“Officer Fishburn represents what is best in our community and he deserves our community’s best effort in supporting him.”

Participating restaurants will display green “Fish for Fishburn” signs this week and patrons will receive check presenters informing them that proceeds from certain seafood items on the menu will go to the Jason Fishburn Fund.

“The level of support and volunteerism for Jason by our community has been wonderful,” said Danny Overley, President of the Professional Police Officers Credit Union, which manages the Jason Fishburn Fund. “Having the local restaurant industry come together for one of our officers means so much to Jason and his family and is inspiring to his extended law enforcement family.”
