NC Police Benevolent Association Holding Two Raffles to raise funds for the Police Benevolent Foundation

The North Carolina Police Benevolent Association is currently holding two separate raffles for sports memorabilia items to benefit the Police Benevolent Foundation. Founded in 2005, the PBF is a 501 C3, and was created to help families that have lost a loved one in the line of duty along with other initiatives. 100% of the donated monies go to the intended purpose and are tax deductible.

The first item is a framed autographed Tyler Hansbrough jersey and picture. Hansbrough currently plays for the Indiana Pacers of the NBA. Hansbrough led the UNC Tarheels to the 2009 National Championship and he is the ACC’s all-time leading scorer. Hansbrough was a unanimous selection for the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference All Conference Team, 2006 ACC Freshman of the Year, and 2008 ACC Player of the Year. In 2008, he won the Wooden Award and was the National Player of the Year. His jersey (number 50) was retired on February 10, 2010 during a Duke-North Carolina rivalry game.

The second item is a framed autographed jersey of Josh Hamilton. The piece also includes two autographed Sports Illustrated covers.
