Chicago Actors support Patrick Lives On 4th Annual Variety Show Fundraiser

Chicago, IL – Patricia Frontain, founder of Patrick Lives On and script supervisor for NBC’s Chicago PD is proud to announce the fourth annual fundraising event for the non-profit organization to be held on Saturday, September 7, 2019, at The Chop Shop, located at 2033 W. North Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The evening will be hosted by NBC’s weekday evening anchor Rob Stafford and entertainment reporter LeeAnn Trotter and include performances by various actors from NBC’s ChicagoPD, ChicagoFire, and ChicagoMed as they improvise, sing and dance.

“I’m grateful for Rob Stafford and LeeAnn Trotter, the actors and all who have donated food, drinks and raffle prizes to this event,” says Frontain.

Frontain created the organization in memory of her son, Patrick Boswell, who tragically lost his life to gun violence in Rosemont, Illinois in January 2015. Patrick was a 14-year old boy walking in the wrong place at the wrong time in a neighboring town and was caught in the middle of gang crossfire. The event will take place in September around what would have been Patrick’s 19th birthday.
