Jimmy Binns, president and CEO of Holiday Meals for Heroes, welcomed families of local police officers who died in the line of duty to a Thanksgiving eve breakfast at Sunnybrook Golf Club in Plymouth Meeting.
The Nov. 26 event was sponsored by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 98, which also provided families with Thanksgiving dinners.
Among the families who attended were those of Temple University Sgt. Christopher Fitzgerald and Philadelphia Police Officers Brian Lorenzo, Walter DeWitt, Chuck Cassidy, James O’Connor, Pat McDonald, John Pawlowski and Andy Chan, who was severely injured in an accident as he headed to work on Rhawn Street in 2019.
Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel was also in attendance.
The event will continue on Dec. 19 for Christmas and, next year, for Easter. ••
