Wing Bowl Proceeds Donated To Fallen Officer Fund
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ―
The sponsors of Philadelphia's "Wing Bowl" have presented a $20,000 check to a fund that benefits the survivors of fallen city police officers.
The proceeds from Wing Bowl 17 were delivered Thursday to the Fraternal Order of Police Survivors Fund by the morning crew from Philadelphia radio station WIP. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said the fund had been depleted because of the number of recent deaths.
Services are being held Friday for Officer John Pawlowski, the sixth Philadelphia police officer to die in the line of duty in 16 months. Pawlowski was fatally shot Friday night while responding to a fight.
Wing Bowl is an early morning chicken-wing gorge-fest held every year on the Friday before the Super Bowl.
