Serve & Connect presents L/Cpl. Frazier with donation to support his recovery
Blythewood, SC — On July 18, the compassion of a statewide community and the power of courage and healing were on full display during a small and intimate ceremony at the headquarters of the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. During this ceremony, Kassy Alia Ray, Founder / CEO of Serve & Connect, presented Lace Corporal Frazier and his wife with a check for more than $15,000. Thanks to nearly 200 donations from co-workers, friends, family, and supporters from around the state, Highway Patrolman Lance Corporal B.A. Frazier’s recovery just got a little easier.
The fundraiser is intended to support L/Cpl Frazier and his family, helping to cover medical bills and other needs associated with recovery. One hundred percent of the funds raised will be given to Lance Corporal Frazier.
At Serve & Connect, we deeply understand that the strength of a community can help provide healing and support to our law enforcement members and their families during times of crisis and tragedy. When Officer Greg Alia was killed in the line of duty in 2015, the community rallied around our founder, Kassy, and their then 6-month-old son Sal.
We carry forward this immense kindness through our Tragedy Response Program. If an officer is killed in the line of duty or critically injured in South Carolina, Serve & Connect facilitates community giving to support the Officer, and their family, and honor their bravery. We do not keep any money raised as every penny donated is provided to the officer and their family for their long-term healing and support.
As you may remember, L/Cpl. Frazier was shot and injured in April during a traffic stop in Bamberg, SC. He spent nearly a week in the hospital before returning home to face a road to recovery surrounded by his family, friends, and with his immense spirit intact and bolstered by the community response.
Lance Corporal Frazier has been with Highway Patrol Troop 7 since 2018 and currently serves in Post A (Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, and Hampton). He is a Navy veteran, a proud grandfather of eight, and is focused on making strong bonds with the community that he serves.
Frazier expresses his gratitude to all who supported his recovery through prayers and donations. He intends to “push that love forward” and is eager to return to work, although a date for his return hasn’t been set as he continues physical therapy.
Serve & Connect believes that we can build stronger communities grounded in effective community safety partnerships when communities support the officers who protect them every day. Thank you to everyone for their care, concern, and support of Lance Corporal Frazier and his family.
