The Chicago Architecture Foundation has scheduled a series of tours for August 19 as a benefit for the family of CAF docent Steve O'Rourke who was killed last month by a hit-and-run driver. He left behind a wife and three children. According to the CAF:
Steve was an enthusiastic and devoted volunteer and loved to give CAF tours, especially those teaching young children about the “secrets of skyscrapers.” CAF volunteers and staff will join together on August 19th to give the tours Steve cherished so much to raise money to help support his family. Special Structure: The Secret of Skyscrapers tours will be given for families in Steve’s honor. All of CAF’s regularly scheduled walking tours will also be given in tribute to Steve, and the money collected will be donated to the Rachel McKee Family Assistance Fund.
