“For more than a century, Harley-Davidson Motor Company has been supplying motorcycles to America's law enforcement agencies. Now, the Milwaukee-based company is helping to write a new chapter in law enforcement history through a unique donation in support of the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum,” stated the press release.
In 2010, for the fourth year in a row, Harley-Davidson has donated a special motorcycle to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. This year, the company offered a 2010 Road King Peace Officer Special Edition.
The non-profit Memorial Fund is offering the motorcycle in a raft, which has a ticket price of $25, with the proceeds being used to help build the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC.
The motorcycle has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $18,402, and only 6,000 raffle tickets are being printed.
The raft drawing and the announcing of the winner are scheduled to take place on the evening of Thursday, October 14.
"Harley-Davidson Motor Company has a long and distinguished history of supporting law enforcement in our country, so it was not surprising that the Company would step up early in the campaign to support the National Law Enforcement Museum and would remain a strong and reliable partner ever since," said Craig W. Floyd, the Memorial Fund's chairman and CEO.
The raffles of the first three motorcycles donated by the company raised over $135,000 for the Museum campaign.
