Charity Poinsettia Sale for Injured Officer Ends Friday

Wayne UNICO's charity poinsettia sale to benefit the family of injured police officer Bob Franco ends on Friday.

Franco suffered a severe spinal cord injury when a tree fell on his patrol car during Hurricane Sandy. He is slowly regaining his range of motion and walking again.

The decorative holiday flowers will be sold in 6-inch and 7-inch size pots and average 15 inches in height.

The 6-inch plants cost $9, the 7-inch plants cost $18 when pre-ordered. Seven-inch plants have twice the number of flowers as the 6-inch plants do.

Plants can be picked up at the municipal building on Sunday, Dec. 16 from 9 a.m. to noon.

A limited number of extra plants will be available to pick up on a first-come basis for $10 and $20.
