TAMPA - Corporal Jonathan Belk works in Tampa Police Department's District Three, serving people in neighborhoods like Ybor City and Tampa Heights. But he recently had to go on medical leave after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
Tom Singleton with the Tampa Police Benevolent Association says Corporal Belk is fighting the good fight and when an officer needs help, they come together, but this time they need your help.
"We decided to we would have a raffle in his name to be able to offset any expenses he's incurring while he works thru this medical condition that he has." said Singleton.
The raffle is for a new iPad. For every $5 donated, you get an entry to win. The PBA has already raised over $4,000 and 100% of the money from the raffle will be going to help Corporal Belk fight cancer.
You can donate and enter the raffle online at:

The drawing will be held on Dec 20.
