Business at Chick-fil-A in Bristow was booming as customers lined up outside the door with flyers in hand that read in bold letters at the top, “August 28, 2019; SPIRIT NIGHT.”
This was a special night, not only for Chick-fil-A Bristow, but for Team Prince William and Law Enforcement United (LEU), as Chick-fil-A hosted Team Prince William in fundraising for the Chris Yung Memorial 5K Turkey Trot, as well as raising awareness for the prestigious 2020 Road to Hope and the upcoming Charity Golf Tournament.
Team Prince William is a 501(c)3 charity group incorporated within LEU, and their mission is to honor and support the family and survivors of fallen officers. Their main goal with the Chris Yung Memorial Fund is to benefit Officer Yung’s children. Officer Chris Yung died in a horrific motorcycle crash in the line of duty on December 31, 2012, at the intersection of Nokesville Road and Piper Lane, just outside Chick-fil-A is Bristow.
Team Prince William Co-Treasurer Tracy Zingg led and coordinated with Karen Allam, Marketing Director at Chick-fil-A Bristow, to make sure everything was running smoothly.
“This is just one of the ways that Chick-fil-A can help us raise money,” said Zingg, as she was relieved that the popular turnout was more than she expected. “It kind of gives you that sense of pride and excitement that something is doing what it’s supposed to do, and I love that feeling. I love it when a plan comes together.”
Team Prince William announced their event through social media and by handing out flyers inside local elementary schools, notably the Chris Yung Elementary School in Bristow.
“The partnership that Chick-fil-A and LEU have to keep the memory of an officer who paid the ultimate sacrifice on duty is very important,” said Brentsville District Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, who attended the fundraiser. “It’s certainly important to our youth to keep that memory alive because there’s a school named after him. So, of course, I want to be here to support a great and important cause.”
The funds will help set up the 5K Turkey Trot held on November 28, Thanksgiving morning, and in turn, the funds raised at the 5K Turkey Trot will go directly to the Chris Yung Memorial Fund. Details and sign-ups for the 5K Turkey Trot can be found here.
“I mean the money is great and it helps, but the biggest thing [Chris’ wife] doesn’t want is for Chris to be forgotten,” said Zingg. “She doesn’t want his children to be forgotten. So, the 5K is our way of getting that out there and making sure that people don’t forget.”
The 2020 Road to Hope will be held in May and is a 250-mile bike ride from Chesapeake, Va. to Washington D.C. over a span of three days, honoring the lives of Law Enforcement Officers killed each year and raise money for the survivors. The funds will go toward Concerns of Police Survivors (COP’s) and Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP).

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
