Through Nebeker’s donation, one of only 50 22-inch-tall bronze statues, along with a companion 7-inch-tall “empty boots” sculpture, will be raffled to support the foundation’s ongoing work with the Prescott Police Department.
Only 150 raffle tickets will be sold at $100 each. Each ticket includes admission for two to the raffle reception, set for 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, May 21, at Espire Sports next to the new Augie’s Restaurant. The event will feature heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.
Nebeker will personally draw the winning ticket for the sculpture set, which is valued at $6,000. The winner need not be present to claim the prize. In addition, the Prescott Police Foundation will cover any applicable taxes on the artwork.
Tickets can be purchased at the Prescott Police Department, 222 S. Marina St., or by calling 928-777-1900, ext. 5611, or through Prescott Police Foundation members at 928-499-0101. QCBN
