Officer Stan Chapin Memorial Fund Selling Memorial Bracelets
A group of parents and students is selling bracelets, wine, and water to raise money for bronze statues of Chapin at the schools where he worked.
The initiatives to honor continue.
The Stan Chapin Memorial Fund, organized by parents, Chapin's wife and family, Inglewood Junior High and Eastlake High School, is seeking to raise $200,000 to erect two bronze Memorial statues of Chapin waving as he did to students every morning.
The statues would be placed in front of the junior high and high school where Chapin served as school resource officer.
