The Heroes Club recently held a fundraiser at Blend Cigar Bar to help provide critical safety equipment for three Carmel Police Department (CPD) K-9s.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters of The Heroes Club, three CPD K-9 heroes will have their own bullet-and-knife resistant vests that will help safeguard them during dangerous police operations.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed, shared, or showed up in support of protecting the brave dogs who stand on the front lines with their officers. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for those who loyally serve our community.
The Heroes Club is dedicated to bridging the gap created by economic and budget shortfalls, ensuring that Carmel’s first responders have the resources they need to keep our community safe. We are proud to stand behind the men and women who serve our city with courage, commitment and compassion.
If you would like to support The Heroes Club, a 501(c)(3), today is Giving Tuesday, and you can donate at theheroesclub.org. If you’re interested in learning more about membership and how you can get involved, you can find out more at that site.
Your generosity and engagement help us continue our mission – and make a lasting impact on those who protect us every day.
