Steve Cascio, a six year veteran officer of the Lake Zurich Police Department, was involved in a catastrophic motor vehicle crash while on his way to work. He was entrapped in his vehicle for an extended period of time and airlifted to a trauma center. Steve sustained a compound fracture to his shin, fractures to his right knee, femur, arm, and ribs. Steve's injuries will require an extensive hospital stay and a long recovery. 

Steve is a loving husband to Stephanie, a stay-at-home mom, who cares for their two young children, Eva and Jimmy. He is a great friend and an active member of his church. He is assigned to the Traffic Safety Division, is a field training officer, and a peer support member. 

This fundraiser will be used to support Steve's family in the coming weeks and months to handle their living expenses as Stephanie manages caring for Steve and their children. Please help our brother officer and his family in his hour of need.

The generosity and kind words from everyone here have been absolutely overwhelming. There is no way to fully express our gratitude, but please know each donation, no matter how big or small, is greatly appreciated. We never anticipated that two weeks after creating this fundraiser, we would be so close to our goal. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our friend, Steve. Please continue your prayers as he moved into the next stages of his recovery.
