Terrence Carraway Memorial Fund

At 4pm on Wednesday October 3rd,  three sheriff's deputies with the Florence County Sheriff's Office were serving a warrant when the suspect began shooting. The incident resulted in a multi-hour standoff in which seven officers - 3 deputies and 4 officers with the Florence Police Department - were shot. One officer, Officer Terrence Carraway, was fatally wounded.

Officer Carraway was a 30-year law enforcement veteran and is remembered by Chief Allen Heidler as "the bravest police officer" he's ever known.

Officer Carraway leaves behind a wife and young adult children. 100% of the funds raised through this gofundme will go to the family of Officer Carraway.

This fundraiser is endorsed by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Officers Association, the South Carolina Police Chiefs Association and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Assistance Program. The fundraiser is facilitated by Serve & Connect, a nonprofit (501c3) organization committed to promoting community safety, resilience and well-being through transformative police and community partnerships. Since 2016, Serve & Connect has raised over $300,000 for families of fallen officers in South Carolina. Serve & Connect was founded by Kassy Alia in memory of her late husband, Officer Gregory Alia, who was killed in the line of duty on September 30, 2015.
