In 2012, The Estates at Carpenters formed a charitable partnership with the Polk County's Sheriff's Office called K9s for Cops Polk County. The mission of K9s for Cops is to purchase dogs for the Sheriff's K9 Unit. To date, we have purchased 28 dogs for the Unit.
Each year, K9s for Cops sponsors "An Evening with the Stars" Memorial Dinner. This event is designed to remember Deputy Matt Williams and his K9 partner DiOGi who were killed in the line of duty on September 28, 2006. The evening is also meant to be a celebration of the men and women that have followed in Matt and DiOGi's footsteps and carry on their legacy.
The evening will feature a delicious filet mignon dinner, special speakers, silent auction and K9 Unit awards and K9 Unit meet and greets. Our speakers for the evening are Sheriff Grady Judd and Col. Mark Tillman. Col.Tillman was the Commander of Air Force One on 9/11.
Tickets for this event are $100 and can be purchased at K9sforCopsPolkCounty.com. Sponsorships are still available.For questions, please call Michelle Robare at 863-858-3847 x810.
