Brady earns big at Blavat show
U.S. Rep. Bob Brady received a rousing hand after taking the stage Sunday at Jerry Blavat's oldies spectacular at the Kimmel Center, where he accepted a $5,000 check from the Geator, and another $5,000 from Caroline Kimmel, wife of West Philly native Sidney Kimmel.
Kimmel accompanied her donation to Brady's mayoral campaign with a letter for Brady and wife Debra. Kimmel has known the former Debra Savarese for nearly 30 years. She was an Eagles cheerleader when they were known as the Liberty Belles and Caroline Kimmel's ex-husband, Leonard Tose, owned the Eagles.
Brady, a big oldies fan, is a regular at the Geator's Kimmel Center shows, usually sitting front row. Late Sunday, the Bradys joined Blavat for an after-party at Valanni (1229 Spruce), which was also attended by attorney Nino Tinari and his wife, Carol.
