Cape & Islands Cumberland Farms Donating To Sean Gannon Fund

Cumberland Farms stores on Cape Cod and the Islands will donate drink sale proceeds to a fund for slain Yarmouth Police Officer Sean Gannon.

Cumberland Farms stores on Cape Cod and the Islands will hold a fundraiser Friday for fallen Yarmouth Police Officer Sean Gannon. All day, the stores will donate 20 cents for each cup of coffee and dispensed beverages to the Sean Gannon Memorial Foundation.

Gannon was shot and killed last month while searching for a career criminal in Barnstable. He was 32 years old and left behind a wife. His police dog, Nero, was also shot and survived. Thousands of law enforcement officers from across the country attended Gannon's funeral last month in Yarmouth.

Gannon will also be honored during May 20 during the Yarmouth Police Department's Run to Remember 5K.
