How Much Did Taco John's Raise For Deputy Katherine Ann Frank's Family?

South Dakota stepped up in a big way last month for Taco John's fundraiser for Deputy Katherine Ann Frank. Thanks to all the Bacon or Sausage Meat & Potato Breakfast Burrito fans in the Sioux Empire, Taco John's raised $56,700! Way to go everyone!

This donation just shows how amazing the Sioux Empire is.

We are grateful for everyone who stepped up to support Katherine’s family. This is what community is all about. Thank you for standing with Katherine’s family and our law enforcement family. She will never be forgotten.

Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Deputy Katherine Ann Frank will always be remembered as a daughter...sister...girlfriend...niece...granddaughter...friend...and someone who gave up their life to protect her Sioux Empire neighbors.

The badge was her job, but family was Katherine Ann Frank's life.

Her family describes her as incredibly funny and someone who gets along with just about everybody. Outside of work, she enjoyed spending time with her two dogs, Ares and Aspen, reading, cooking, and playing video games.

On behalf of the Sioux Empire, thank you for your service Katherine and thank you to her family for sharing her with us.
