Green Pets America Charities is asking the public to come out and support its efforts to fund a proposed law enforcement K-9 memorial.

Green Pets America Charities will hold a Bark-B-Que fundraiser to raise money for the project, which is being created by a local artist to honor the K-9 units that serve and protect Cherokee County residents.

Tckets are $10 and include a lunch meal and a goodie bag filled with free items and discounts from local Cherokee County merchants. The fundraiser will run 10 days and tickets can be redeemed from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday, May 1 through Sunday, May 11 at J. Miller’s Smokehouse.
