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,
$25.

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.
