Fallen Officers – The Robert L. Zore Foundation (WINK News) One Naples couple is helping send students to school while honoring our community’s heroes. “It makes me feel good to know that not only am I continuing the legacy of my father, but also of these fallen officers,” said Rosemary Zore, the founder of The Fallen Officers. Zore honors her father and other law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty through the Fallen Officers Scholarships. “We have 29 fallen officers and two canines and Lee and Collier County, so what better way to remember their sacrifice than to help educate their legacy so we wanted to do something that helps the community,” she said. Through her foundation’s events like the Blue Bowl and Blues for the Blue, she and her husband, Mike Randall, raise money to award students in the name of a fallen officer.
