As many as 1,000 took to the streets for the 20th annual Ride to Remember, a fundraiser for the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation.
The event helps the foundation raise funds for Gold Star families. It was started in 2004 by a group of Chicago Police officers in response to a challenge from then-Chicago Police Department Superintendent Phil Cline to each unit to come up with a way to raise money for the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation.
