The Cimmarusti's Are Kings In Our Eyes

Thursday, November 02, 2006 | Posted by LAFD Media and Public Relations

From 6:00 AM to Midnight on Thursday, November 2, 2006, the Burger King restaurant at 700 West Cesar E. Chavez Avenue will be donating the proceeds of all sales to the family of fallen LAPD Officer Landon Dorris, who died recently while investigating a traffic collision in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles.

Larry and Ralph Cimmarusti are the 'Burger King' franchisees responsible for this remarkable act of kindness, which will benefit Dorris' two young sons. This is not the first time these men have supported the families of our fallen colleagues.

We are therefore pleased to again offer a respectful tip o' the LAFD helmet to the Cimmarusti's, and commend them for their inspiring benevolence and profound civic activisim.

I didn't realize that the Cimmarusti's also did this same donation for the families of James Tutino (LASD) and Julia Bennett (LAFD) last year.

Thank you for supporting the public service community. I hope the event was a big success.

May your business thrive.

Mark:

There are many people right here in Los Angeles who are unaware of the Cimmarusti's longstanding good deeds in support of public safety.
It was therefore our pleasure to spotlight their fundraising effort on behalf of Officer Dorris' family.

On and off-duty members of the LAFD were among the many who proudly patronized the charitable event, which raised $17,000.

Those who were unable to attend the event can offer their generous support to the families of our fallen LAPD colleagues through the Los Angeles Police Department Memorial Foundation.


Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
