DALLAS (KRLD) - Chick-fil-A locations in Grand Prairie, Arlington and Mansfield will host fundraisers Monday night for the family of Grand Prairie Police Officer A.J. Castaneda. Castaneda died in the line of duty June 7 when he was hit by a car while working traffic enforcement.
Six Chick-fil-A locations will donate 20 percent of their sales to Castaneda's family from 5-9 p.m. Monday:
3041 Camp Wisdom
Grand Prairie, TX 75052
3970 S. Carrier
Grand Prairie, TX 75052
4700 S. Cooper
Arlington, TX 76017
1505 N. Collins
Arlington, TX 76011
800 N. Walnut Creek
Mansfield, TX 76063
3200 E. Broad St.
Mansfield, TX 76063
Those locations will also sell t-shirts made by "Back the Blue HQ."
"They go out and do their job. They don't wake up and think, 'Is today the day I don't make it home?'" says Back the Blue HQ's Sherri Aaron, whose husband is the Mansfield police chief. "I know the families have that in their mind every day, but the officers don't."
All money raised by the sales of the t-shirts will go to Castaneda's family.
The driver of the other car was not charged. Investigators found no sign of impairment.
