Bradley Cosgrove, partner at Clifford Law Offices, grew up in a family of firemen. His grandfather, father and uncle were Chicago firefighters and his brother is an active Chicago firefighter on Engine 116, Local 2. Brad helps out at the Chicago Firefighter’s Union picnic every year since its inception eight years ago. Each year Local 2 raises money for troops wounded in battle and donates specially equipped automobiles to soldiers with leg or arm amputations. This year they have already donated five cars to soldiers with special needs.
The picnic benefits the Wounded Warrior Project, Wounded Heros, the Disabled Patriot Fund, the Injured Semper Fi Fund, Brave Hearts, Operation Support Our Troops America, Tribute to the Troops, Wounded Wear, the American Red Cross, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation and the Illinois Veterans Foundation.
