A Philly favorite, Chickie's & Pete's crabfries are selling for $1 all day in honor of National French Fry Day.
Chickie's & Pete's annually hosts its Crabfries for Heroes event, which benefits the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivor Fund.
All sales from their dollar crabfries on July 12, 2024, will be donated to the fund with the goal of making a significant difference in the lives of the families of fallen police officers.
"We look forward to this every year. It's one of our favorite Chickie's & Pete's traditions, Crabfries for Heroes benefiting the FOP Survivors Fund. It's an honor to be able to give back to such a great organization," Pete Ciarrocchi, Chairman and CEO of Chickie's & Pete's said.

Crabfries for Heroes started as a simple idea to say "thank you" to police officers for their service and dedication to their communities.
After seeing the need firsthand, Pete Ciarrocchi and his team decided to make a major commitment to The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Survivors Fund.
FOP Survivors Fund is a non-profit organization in Philadelphia that raises money for families of Philadelphia Police Officers who have been tragically killed or injured in the line of duty.
