Support for Jones family

On Thursday, March 26 from 7 to 9 p.m., join hoops fans as Carl Sandburg's faculty takes on the Middletown Township Police Department in a basketball game to benefit the family of deceased Middletown Police Officer Chris Jones.
Students will be selling raffle tickets as well. There are lots of prizes to be raffled off! Join the Phillie Phanatic as organizers raffle off Phillies opening day and Sixers tickets as well as autographed jerseys from the Flyers and Sixers!
The cost is $5 for a game ticket. Raffle tickets are $1 and can be purchased through a Sandburg student or by coming to the Sandburg office.
Jones was struck and killed Jan. 29 while conducting a traffic stop on Route 1, near the I-95 interchange. As he was returning to his patrol car, two cars collided and careened into his vehicle, which then struck him.
Jones succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the accident a short while later. He had served with Middletown Township police for 10 years.
