TRUCK RAFFLE RAISES FUNDS FOR OFFICERS FACING HARDSHIP, INCLUDING ONE INJURED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
WHAT
A follow-up story on the Phoenix police officer, who was injured while responding to a disturbance near 18th Street and Southern Avenue, where the perpetrator, Joseph Huggins, punched her in the face during an attempted arrest. The assault caused her to fall, resulting in a broken nose and broken ankle.
What people may not know is that the officer’s injuries were severe enough that she was unable to return to full duty and faced financial challenges.
Unbeknownst to the officer, a Sergeant reached out to the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association (PLEA) seeking help on her behalf, and they stepped in to assist with her financial needs.
In order to help fund these important efforts, Valley Toyota Dealers graciously donated a 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport to PLEA Charities to raffle off. Tickets are available now through October 31st for only $20 at RevUpWinaTruck.org. The winning ticket will be drawn November 1, 2025 at noon at the Horsepower for Heroes charity car show held at Martins Auto Museum. Tickets are available online for $20 each, 3 for $50 or 10 for $100. (ticket buyers do not need to be present to win).
