This Week – For A Penny

As Others Play Huff & Gamble, Sen.

Washington Will Talk At The DellThe iconic songwriter/producing

duo, Kenneth Gamble and Leon

Huff, are credited with sharing the

“The Sound of Philadelphia” with

the world through their production

company as well as giving back to

their hometown community and

now those who attend “A Tribute

to Gamble & Huff: 40 Years of In-

ternational Records” can give back

as well. Area music lovers groove

to the sounds of Philadelphia at

The Dell Music Center in honor of

the 40th anniversary of Gamble’s

and Huff’s production company,

Philadelphia International Records

(PIR), while supporting victims of

domestic violence. One dollar of

every ticket purchased for the

Thursday, Jul. 21 show will be do-

nated to Philadelphia’s only do-

mestic abuse hotline

(866-SAFE-014) through the

fourth annual “Walk to End Do-

mestic Violence.”

State Sen. LeAnna Washington

(D-Northwest) founded the “Walk

to End Domestic Violence,” taking

place Saturday, Oct. 22. She will

speak the night of the concert

about the importance of support-

ing victims of domestic violence,

share her survival story and give

details about this year’s Walk. The

Senator and The Dell Music Cen-

ter ask that attendees wear some-

thing purple the night of Jul. 21 in

support of domestic-abuse victims.

“The toll-free hotline provides

help to between 9,000 and 10,000

callers each year and we want to

ensure that these victims continue

receiving the support they so des-

perately need,” said Sen. Washing-

ton. “We thank the City

Recreation Dept. and Recreation

Commissioner Susan Slawson for

hosting Domestic Violence Aware-

ness Night during The Dell Music

Center’s concert series and help-

ing to raise funds and awareness

for the hotline, the support is

amazing.”

The concert, part of The Dell’s

“Essence of Entertainment” sum-

mer concert series, will feature

The Delfonics; Jerry Butler; Jean

Carne; The Jones Girls; Russell

Thompkins and the Stylistics.

Ticket prices are as follows: sec-

tions A-K, $40 and sections L-BB,

In a presentation at the inaugural The Elegance at

Hershey, Dr. Frederick A. Simeone was presented

with the prestigious Lee Iacocca Award, which recog-

nizes outstanding classic-car enthusiasts.

Dr. Simeone has assembled one of the world’s great

collections of racing sports cars over a span of 50

years, and in 2008 opened a museum in Philadelphia

to display the collection.

In making the award, Iacocca noted, “The Award is

presented to the person who has shown excellence in

dedication to the preservation of an American auto-

motive tradition. I would say your museum more than

qualifies you in that area along with your efforts to

serve unselfishly in so many nonprofit organiza-

tions.”

Lee Iacocca’s contribution to the automotive industry

spans 50 years. The prestigious Lee Iacocca Award is

given for Dedication To Excellence In Perpetuating

An American Automotive Tradition.

A native Philadelphian, Dr. Simeone began his pas-

sionate interest in cars when he was a teenager, fol-

lowing in the footsteps of his father, also a doctor,

who was one of the early collectors of classic cars in

the 1950s. For more than five decades, Simeone has

assembled what many automotive authorities agree is

one of the world’s great collections of racing sports

cars.

The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum dif-

fers from most other automotive collections in that

the cars are used to tell a story: that competition and

racing improves the breed. The central theme of the

Simeone Foundation collection is “the spirit of com-

petition.”

The Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, lo-

cated in the Airport Auto Mall, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit

corporation and includes many of the most significant

racing sports cars ever built. For more information

call (215) 365- 7233, or visit the website at:

www.simeonemuseum.org. The Museum is open

Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sat-

urday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission

is $12 adults, $10 seniors, $8 for students. Children

under 8 are admitted free.
