About Us
The mission of the Lawrence Hometown Heroes Memorial Fund is to carry on the legacy of Lieutenant Charles M. Saindon and Sergeant Ian G. Taylor; to honor and celebrate their lives and dedication to protecting the communities they served.
Lieutenant Saindon and Sergeant Taylor took pride in calling Lawrence their hometown and worked as partners at the Lawrence Police Department early in their careers. On February 26, 2024, Sergeant Saindon passed away after a brief illness. On April 26, 2024, Sergeant Taylor was killed in the line of duty. The loss of these two hometown heroes is immeasurable.
Because of your support, the Lawrence Hometown Heroes Memorial Fund has been able to support local and national organizations like Operation Delta Dog, Learn to Cope, Smile Train, the Wonderfund and My Life My Choice. We adopted several senior citizens/veterans without family in the Merrimack Valley to provide Christmas gifts as a part of Operation Santa’s for Seniors & Veterans and over 20 youth to fulfill their Christmas wish lists at the Billerica Boys and Girls Club. Lawrence Hometown Heroes even had the privilege of sponsoring a middle school student’s toy drive that collected hundreds of gifts that were delivered to the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club for their annual Christmas Party.
We are also proud to have made charitable contributions to the Heart of Service Scholarship in memory of Haverhill Police Officer Katelyn Tully, to the family of Trooper Kevin Trainor, the Billerica Police Department Bfit Challenge Team, Boston Marathon Tough Ruck Teams, Special Olympics and the 2025 & 2026 Police Unity Tour!
We hope you will join us for the 3rd Annual Lawrence Hometown Heroes 5K so that we can continue to bring joy, support and hope, and strengthen the bonds between law enforcement and the community.
