Harley Donates Bike for Law Enforcement Museum Raffle

The Harley-Davidson motorcycle has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $18,402, and only 6,000 raffle tickets are being printed.

August 25, 2010

For the fourth year in a row, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company has donated a motorcycle to support the National Law Enforcement Museum-in this case, a 2010 Road King Peace Officer Special Edition. The non-profit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) is selling raffle tickets for just $25 each, with the proceeds going to build the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC.

The Harley-Davidson motorcycle has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $18,402, and only 6,000 raffle tickets are being printed. Tickets can be purchased in one of two ways: by calling either 877-622-BIKE (2453) or 202-737-3402 Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (EDT), or in person at the Memorial Fund's Visitors Center & Store, located at 400 7th Street, NW, Washington, DC, where the motorcycle is currently on display.

The raffle drawing will take place and the winner will be announced on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 14, during the Inaugural Gala celebrating the National Law Enforcement Museum's groundbreaking, which will take place earlier that day. The winner need not be present to win.

"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.

He noted that the raffles of the first three motorcycles donated by the Harley-Davidson Motor Company raised more than $135,000 for the Museum campaign. The previous winners were a U.S. Border Patrol agent from California who had been on special assignment to Washington, DC; a Florida woman who had been riding on the back of her husband's Harley-Davidson for two decades, and a corrections lieutenant from New Jersey who recently retired and now spends much of his time touring New England on his new motorcycle.

Authorized by Congress in the year 2000, the National Law Enforcement Museum (www.LawEnforcementMuseum.org) is an architecturally inspiring, 55,000 square foot, mostly underground museum that will be located adjacent to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in downtown Washington, D.C. The Museum will tell the story of American law enforcement through high-tech, interactive exhibits, collections, research, and education. Groundbreaking for the Museum will take place on Oct. 14, 2010, with a projected opening in late 2013.

The privately funded Museum has launched an $80 million capital campaign, with more than $40 million raised to date. Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton serve as co-chairs of the Museum's National Honorary Campaign Committee, which also includes seven former Attorneys General of the United States, as well as other former government officials and celebrities.
