Atlanta Honor guard's plunge

Our inspiration for our first event!

The news herald

Lucas Sizemore was an officer with the Atlanta Police Department and his death has hit home here in the Downriver area — where he was family.

Sizemore, 24, is from Woodhaven and graduated in 2017 from Summit Academy High School.

He died by suicide on Jan. 9.

His parents, Brian and Marie Sizemore, of Woodhaven, have founded the Lucas Foundation, inspired by their son.

“Lucas” is an anagram for Law Enforcement’s United Crusade Against Suicide, and its purpose is to raise awareness to what many in law enforcement believe is an alarming suicide rate among police officers...

Dine & DOnate

Vito's pizzeria- july 20, 2024

July 22, 2024

 

The LUCAS Foundation would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all those who attended and donated Saturday. All of the baskets and raffle ticket purchases helped make the Dine and Donate event very successful. 

 

The LUCAS Foundation wants to thank and acknowledge Vito’s Pizzeria, Christie Kerr and the entire Vito’s staff. The use of their venue, their excellent service and their donation helped to make our event fun and successful. We will not forget it. 

 

A special thank you to Officer Ali Sucu of the Atlanta Police Department. Officer Sucu called Vito’s from Atlanta on Saturday and purchased enough pizza to feed Lucas’s entire family. He is and always will be one of our own.

 

Thank you all !
