Fetha Styx To Host Auctions of True Hero Rods Benefitting Families of Fallen Officers Leave a reply
PRESS RELEASE:
Fetha Styx Hosts eBay Auctions of True Hero Rods to Support Families of Slain Lakewood Police Officers.
Funds raised through four auctions to go to Lakewood Police Independent Guild.
Late last month, Western Washington was forever shaken by the deaths of four Lakewood police officers. Fetha Styx, a community business that works to honor the sacrifices law enforcement officers make every day, will help the families of the fallen with a series of eBay auctions slated to begin Thursday, December 10.
Earlier this year, Fetha Styx, a fishing rod manufacturer, introduced their True Hero series—custom fishing rods with proceeds benefiting the families of fallen police and firefighters. The Fetha Styx-hosted eBay auctions will be for a gift certificate good for any True Hero fishing rod. There will be four auctions in total each lasting five days. All money raised will go to the Lakewood Police Independent Guild, a non-profit, volunteer organization that supports officers and their families.
“There aren’t words to describe the shock of these senseless deaths. Our hearts go out to their families and, hopefully, the swell of community support eases some of their grief,” said Bill Boyce, CEO of Fetha Styx.
“This tragedy highlights how officers put themselves in harm’s way every day for the betterment of the community. We need to support the families of these slain officers now, but also remember to thank the officers across the country who put their lives on the line to protect us all.”
The True Hero police rod series features trim in cobalt blue and any of the rods can be personalized to include a name, badge number, or precinct inscribed into the blank. Each rod in the series typically sells for up to $300.
