YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Wheezy’s Restaurant & Sports Bar held a takeover event to benefit the K9 Ops Foundation.
The event was Tuesday from 4-7pm at the restaurant. The K9 OPS Foundation encouraged the community to come out and help show support.
A portion of everything sold, including alcohol, goes to the K9 OPS Foundation. They put all the money back into the community for K9 OPS and members for items not covered by budgets.
With fundraisers likes this, the foundation was recently able to buy a new vest for the Yuma Police Department (YPD).
The foundation says the vests cost around $5,000, so events like this are very helpful.
They’ve also helped buy specialized water bowls and get toys for local law enforcement. The K9 OPS help support the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office, YPD, and Somerton and San Luis Police Departments.
