Looking for an amazing way to support the Colorado Springs community? Join us on Saturday, May 4th, 2019 for the second annual Homes for Heroes Community Cares K-9 Event! This is an incredible family-friendly, service-centered event that takes the time to honor and support the heroes in our community.
Thanks to our wonderful local sponsors and neighbors in attendance in 2018, the event was able to raise $23,000 for our K-9 officers at last year’s event. As a veteran myself, there is nothing more fulfilling than serving my country, and I want to say how much I appreciate the generosity for such a worth-while cause!
This year, along with supporting our K-9 officers, the proceeds will be used to support Equine Deputies as well! With greater fundraising goals comes even bigger activities suited for every age, this is a local Colorado Springs event that you don’t want to miss!
