The Georgia Police K9 Foundation is celebrating their enormously popular annual Evening for the K9s Weekend this Friday and Saturday, June 21-22, 2024.
At the event, guests will be able to meet some of the nation's bravest companions in a red carpet-style setting. There will be food, drinks, live music, entertainment, raffles and even a silent auction.
The K9 Foundation plays a vital role in public safety, helping train K9 officers so that they are available wherever they are needed, as well as taking care of the retired K9 officers. The foundation's mission is to protect and serve both active and retired law enforcement K9s throughout Georgia. They achieve this by providing the equipment and training necessary to ensure that Georgia’s K9s are wholly equipped for the line of duty.
The event is so big, they have to have a kickoff the night before. The Friday night kickoff will be held at the Crossroads Community Church, doors will open at 6pm. Saturday, the main event, will be held at the Oak Room at Ogeechee Technical College. VIP entry will begin at 5pm, general admission starts at 6pm and runs until 11pm.
