On Sunday, March 6 the Pet Companions Club of PebbleCreek sponsored a well-attended charity golf tournament which raised funds for the City of Goodyear Police Department K-9 Unit. This was the seventh year that this event has been held. Funds were raised through donations, golf entry fees, a raffle and sponsored activities on the golf course. Sponsors and residents enthusiastically supported this event which also included a live K-9 demonstration by the Goodyear Police Department’s four K-9 officers and their canine partners.

On April 14 the Pet Companions Club President Jim Ellison presented a check in the amount of $5,400 to the Goodyear Police Department K-9 Unit. Funds raised during this fundraiser will be used by the Goodyear K-9 Unit for equipment, training expenses and veterinary bills.
