GRAND CHUTE — Friends and family are holding a fundraiser for the community to benefit a Grand Chute police officer battling cancer for the third time.

Sgt. Jen Clement, a 17-year police veteran, is facing chemotherapy and surgeries, this time for stomach cancer.

The benefit begins at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley Hotel.

(Benefit details at FightForJen.org)

Funds raised will help her and her family with medical expenses, daily living expenses, and lost wages.

In October 2016, Clement was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Cell Carcinoma. She fought and won this battle after numerous chemotherapy sessions, radiation treatments, and surgeries, according to her fundraising website.  

Subsequently, she was diagnosed with skin cancer at the radiation site facing yet another surgery.  

In October 2022, Clement was diagnosed with Diffuse Type/Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma, or gastric cancer.  

She is facing numerous chemotherapy sessions, surgeries, and precious time away from her family, friends, and community as an officer.
