Eat a Geno's cheesesteak to benefit the family of a fallen Philadelphia police officer

From 10 a.m. Thu., Dec. 4 through 10 a.m. Fri., Dec. 5, all proceeds from the sale of steaks, hoagies, fries and soft drinks at Geno's Steaks at Ninth and Passyunk in South Philly will go to the family of Sergeant Tim Simpson of the Philadelphia Police, who was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 17, 2008.
Sgt. Simpson, 46, was responding to a burglary call at 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 17 when his patrol car was struck by an intoxicated driver. He later died from his injuries at an area hospital Simpson served the Philadelphia police for 20 years and left behind a wife and three children.
Five of our Philadelphia police officers have been killed in the line of duty this year — two from car crashes, and three from gunfire. Geno's has held prior fund raisers for the survivors of fallen police officers, including Officer Isabel Nazario and Sgt. Patrick McDonald. Though a donation of funds will not ameliorate the grief of the Simpson family, the spirit of the holiday season benefits the giver as well as the recipient.
Direct donations to Simpson's survivor benefit fund can be made by contacting the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-1776.
