Area police are conducting a charity raffle to benefit the Police Officer Assistance Trust, and the prize is a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, free and clear.
The drawing takes place at noon on Friday, Nov. 18, but Miami-Dade Police Officer John McLaughlin of the Cutler Bay Policing Unit thinks the last of the tickets may be gone well before then.
“There are only 1,000 tickets to sell, and we’re almost halfway through those already,” Officer McLaughlin said. “The car is not a lease, the winner will own it. The tax, tag, registration and title are all covered.”
Mercedes-Benz of Cutler Bay, located at 10701 SW 211 St., is providing the car. The winner doesn’t have to be present at the drawing to win. Tickets are priced at $100 each, which as a charitable donation are tax deductible.
The Police Officer Assistance Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating within Miami-Dade County that provides assistance to law enforcement officers and their families in times of crisis or critical need.
For more information about tickets call Officer McLaughlin at 786-367-6491.
