In 2011, for the fifth year in a row, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company has donated a special motorcycle—in this case, a 2011 Harley-Davidson FLHTCU Ultra Classic® Electra Glide® Peace Officer Special Edition motorcycle—to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The non-profit Memorial Fund is raffling the motorcycle for just $25 a ticket, with the proceeds going to build the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C.

For a limited time, the first 1,000 individuals who purchase two or more raffle tickets in the same transaction will receive a limited edition "Thin Blue Line Harley-Davidson® & National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund" t-shirt. This offer is restricted to one t-shirt per transaction.

The motorcycle has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $21,747 and only 4,000 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, or in person at the Memorial Fund's Visitors Center & Store, located at 400 7th Street, NW, Washington, D.C., where the motorcycle is currently on display.

The raffle drawing will take place and the winner announced on the Monday, May 16, one day after National Peace Officer Memorial 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, and we are excited to continue our partnership to build the National Law Enforcement Museum," said Craig W. Floyd, the Memorial Fund's chairman and CEO.

Previous raffles of motorcycles donated by the Harley-Davidson Motor Company have raised more than $175,000 for the Museum campaign.
