John Collado Sr Memorial Park Bench
Donation protected
March 25, 2018 would have been John's 50th birthday. His too early and unjust loss at the hands of a reckless and dangerous NYPD cop (Justice for John Collado) is even more painful to his family and friends on these important milestones. In honor of John's insatiable need to help everyone around him, especially strangers (or rather people who weren't his friends YET), and his love of the neighborhood, especially the playground at Fort Tryon Park (the Anne Loftus Playground), we would like to organize a donation to the park. If you would like to participate you have a couple of ways to contribute. We want to make sure all of our totals are accurate for the dedication, please make your donations before March 15, 2018 and plan to join us to remember John on March 25, 2018 (details added below).
