PBA Honors Fallen Members With
Holiday Party For Families
Scores of children of police officers killed in the line of duty
were showered with gifts, had a visit with Santa Claus and mingled with television
and movie stars at the annual New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association
Widows and Children’s Holiday Party held in Bridgewaters at the Fulton Market
who donated the space and refreshments.
“The annual holiday party is to focus on the living in a bright and
cheery event that shows the families of our fallen heroes that they will never
be forgotten,” said Patrick J. Lynch, the PBA’s President. “It’s
at time for Santa and toys and showing these families a great and festive time
for the holidays.”
Cast members from television shows Whoopi, Third Watch
and Sex and the City dropped by as did Santa Claus,
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and former New York
Jet “Sack Exchange” member and Football Hall of Fame candidate, Mark
Gastineau.
