Cops get donation | South Philly Review
Thursday, February 25, 2010
The Philadelphia Police Foundation received a $15,000 check from Anchor Bay Entertainment, the home entertainment division of Starz Media LLC, on behalf of the Feb. 16 DVD release of “Law Abiding Citizen.” The Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler film was shot in Philadelphia last year.
Anchor Bay Director of Sales Bill Marono presented the check to Police Foundation President Bob Ciaruffoli, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Everett Gillison, and others Tuesday at Police headquarters, 750 Race St. The money will purchase LCD panels for all of the districts.
The foundation is a nonprofit that funds projects beyond the scope of the City’s budget. It relies solely on donations from individuals, businesses and other nonprofits to fund its mission.
