Dave Portnoy Is Stepping In To Help

Dave Portnoy said he would match 100% of all profit made for the family of Lt. Hoosock on these special shirts:

Portnoy has a home in Saratoga Springs and calls Upstate New York a second home.

"Two more police officers killed in the line of duty, like two days ago in Syracuse, Upstate New York, which, is basically a second home to me. With Saratoga being up there, I spent a lot of time up there. You can't underestimate or put enough respect when a first responder leaves their house. There's not many job [where] they don't know if they're coming home. So again thank you for the sacrifice."

You can buy and donate online here. The shirts are currently selling for $32.
