GILBERT, AZ — A Gilbert business owner will be donating a portion of sales and hosting a silent auction to help raise money for the family of Preston Lord.
The 16-year-old died after being attacked at a Halloween party last year, and the case is still under investigation.
From 11 a.m. to close on Wednesday, Jan. 31, The Brass Tap at Verde in Gilbert will donate 25% of sales to the Lord family.

"Talk about Paw Patrol 2026. I was a little skeptical of the abilities of the 'DroneDog' until I saw it in action. This robotic pooch moves smoothly through challenges and becomes the eyes and surveillance, typical of any human security. It's pretty cool to look at too." - Javier Soto

Surrounding businesses have also donated items for a silent auction, from gift baskets to self-care and beauty products, clothing, and gift certificates. All proceeds from that will go to the Lord family, as well as 100% of sales of specialty State Forty Eight T-shirts honoring Preston, and a 50-50 raffle.
Brass Tap General Manager Cole Hammer hopes it provides a place for people to come together and stand up against teen violence, while also helping a family in their darkest hour.
You can find The Brass Tap at 2442 S. Recker Rd. in Gilbert.
