Todd Gallopo
Sammy Hagar
A member of the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame and former front man for Van Halen, Sammy also developed and launched Cabo Wabo Tequila and Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum. He will be designing a hydrant in partnership with artist Todd Gallopo that will function as a Tiki-style piggy bank (a “Tiki-bank”) into which the public can donate additional funds to benefit the 100 Club of Chicago.
From Todd: “Sammy & I have been working together since 1998 after he left Van Halen. I was nominated for a Grammy (Best Recording Package) a year ago for Sammy’s band Chickenfoot’s packaging. We have a long creative history together. My company, meat and potatoes, designs everything for Sammy’s entrepreneurial endeavors. The Tiki motif painted on the hydrant is intended to symbolize protection. What the fearless firefighters provide for the citizens Chicago!”

Cool !
