Las Vegas’ alternative hard-rockers Otherwise will host a Father’s Day fundraiser for the families of Metro Police officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck and civilian Joseph Wilcox, who were killed by anti-government extremists last week.

After being “deeply touched at the loss now facing [the] families,” lead singer Adrian Patrick and the band partnered with Nevada Coin & Jewelery, retired Metro officer Ray Berni and members of the Injured Police Officers Fund (IPOF) to organize the event, according to a press release.

Nevada Coin & Jewelry, Sin City CrossFit and CrossFit 702 will raffle off items while band members sign T-shirts and Otherwise merchandise for monetary donations. Chris Kael, bassist of Vegas rock band Five Finger Death Punch, will also make an appearance.

All of the money raised will benefit the families of those involved in the June 8 shooting rampage, which began inside CiCi’s Pizza on Nellis Boulevard and ended inside a nearby Walmart. Those interested in donating to the victims’ families can also give through IPOF accounts at Wells Fargo and Nevada State banks.

Otherwise Father’s Day Fundraiser June 14, noon–4 p.m., Nevada Coin & Jewelry, 6380 W. Flamingo Road.
