Donnie Wahlberg to raffle Blue Bloods dining set for charity

In the United States, Donnie Wahlberg, a star of the television series 'Blue Bloods', has revealed that he will be taking home some props from the show's set as the series approaches its conclusion. Specifically, Wahlberg has taken the iconic Reagan family dinner table and chairs, which he plans to use in connection with his family business, Wahlburgers. He noted that he learned about the availability of the dining set and decided to rotate it between Wahlburgers locations. The first location set to feature this prop will be in St. Charles, Illinois, where he resides with his wife, Jenny McCarthy. He envisions allowing fans to sit at the famous table to take pictures, creating a unique interaction between the show’s fans and the set that has become synonymous with the series. Additionally, Wahlberg expressed his intention to raffle the table and chairs with proceeds going to charity, specifically the Detectives Endowment Association, which helps support widows and children of detectives. This charitable initiative demonstrates Wahlberg's commitment to giving back to the community, particularly to families impacted by the dangers of law enforcement. The series, which has been popular on CBS since its premiere in 2010, will air its final episodes soon, leading to a wave of nostalgia and emotional farewells from both the cast and its fans. Wahlberg shared his emotional experiences during the final filming days, particularly a poignant moment when Tom Selleck, who plays the role of NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan, observed the filming with tears in his eyes, illustrating the deep bonds formed during the show’s long run.
