While Bam Bam has still not been found, a team of neighbors and animal lovers have created an email tip line, a fundraiser for search efforts<\/a> and a Facebook page<\/a> to keep the community up to date and streamline the search on Santiago\u2019s behalf. A website<\/a> was also made with all the information in one spot, including a link to download flyers<\/a>. <\/p>\n They also helped Santiago file a police report this week, which he did not do at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n The group is organizing a flier canvassing event at 12 p.m. Saturday with two meeting places, one at the Logan Square Monument Park, 3150 W. Logan Blvd., and one at the southwest side of the Lincoln Park Passerelle, the arch pedestrian bridge in Lincoln Park that crosses Lake Shore Drive.<\/p>\n Those who wish to help are welcome to meet at one of the two starting points and will be asked to flyer various streets in Logan Square and Humboldt Park. The group and Santiago hope more people will help with flyer distribution in person and in local social media groups, and encourage people to share the flyer all over the city and suburbs.<\/p>\n The group decided to bring volunteers to Lincoln Park broaden the search for Bam Bam given the influx of visitors for the Air and Water show this weekend, said Amy Pasalich, one of six people co-organizing Saturday\u2019s event.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are very hopeful that the more pressure we put on this, the more pressure from the community and the reward, that somebody will come forward,\u201d Pasalich said. \u201cI don\u2019t want Angel doing this alone anymore. \u2026 This has truly just floored me. Animals are so important to all of us. If people put themselves in Angel\u2019s shoes, [they\u2019d know] how devastating this would feel.\u201d<\/p>\n Pasalich, who also started the fundraiser<\/a>, said Santiago and the group hope for Bam Bam\u2019s safe return with no questions asked. They are not interested in pressing charges and are open to anonymous tips. Tips can be sent to bambamtipline@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The fundraiser quickly exceeded its financial goal after Pasalich launched it last week, raising nearly $16,000 as of Thursday afternoon. Money will be used to print flyers and to increase the reward amount if necessary. <\/p>\n As of now, the reward for Bam Bam\u2019s safe return is $5,000, which is coming from PETA<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-14-at-6.16.34-PM-794x1024.png\")
