The Union County Sheriff's Office, alongside adored K9 Molly, is hosting a unique fundraiser to support their K9 unit's initiatives, and it comes with the chance to win some high-value prizes. The Union County Sheriff's Office announced through a social media post that items up for raffle include a Razor HD 13-39x56 (Angled) Spotting Scope, a Diamondback 3.5-10x50 Riflescope, a 22-inch Blackstone Tabletop Griddle, and a Traeger PRO 34. These items, generously donated by the local Ace Hardware and D&B Supply, have a combined value of nearly $2,200.
The tickets for this raffle are priced at $25 apiece, or a bundle deal of 5 for $100, with the aim to cast a wide net for participation and turn this fundraising into a communal affair. Interested participants can either scan a provided QR code and pay online, or stop by the Sheriff's Office at 1109 K Ave from Monday to Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., according to the official Union County Sheriff's Office Facebook post. The drawing is scheduled for December 10. When making an online payment, participants are instructed to use the 'payment type' drop-down menu to select "K9 Fund" and, enter the amount of tickets they wish to purchase.
This raffle not only serves as a fundraiser but also acts as a catalyst for community engagement—a bond between law enforcement and the people they serve, forged through the sharing of common goals such as supporting the four-legged officers who play an integral role in the sheriff's operations. The selected items reflect the outdoor and sporting lifestyle that resonates with many in the Union County community.
Proceeds from the ticket sales go directly into the coffers of the K9 program, providing necessary funding for training, equipment, and care of the dogs that comprise this special unit. The Union County Sheriff's Office assures participants that upon successful payment, a confirmation email will be dispatched to the provided address. "Thank you to our local Ace Hardware and D&B Supply for their generous donations," they expressed in their post, acknowledging the community support that makes initiatives like these possible.
