The North Coventry Police Department’s Fallen Hero Car Show will mark its 10th year by raising money for the family of Pennsylvania State Trooper Corporal Timothy O’Connor,<\/a> who was killed earlier this year while responding to a traffic stop in West Caln Township, Chester County.<\/p>\n

Organizers hope to raise $150,000 for O’Connor’s family through the community event, which will feature classic cars, raffles and giveaways.<\/p>\n

Among the prizes is a customized GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck. Phillies tickets, a television and gift cards also will be raffled.<\/p>\n

The annual car show is organized by the North Coventry Police Department and is dedicated this year to supporting O’Connor’s family following his death in the line of duty.<\/p>\n

Detective Vic Machese of the North Coventry Township Police Department said the event is a way for the community to give back to the families of fallen officers.<\/p>\n

“I hate seeing time after time we lose officers in the line of duty,” Machese said. “No one asks not to come home at night, but if we can give back just a little bit.”<\/p>\n

The Fallen Hero Car Show is scheduled for August 8 and is intended to be a community event as well as a fundraiser.<\/p>\n
