Fins Up to US

At the April Phlocking at The Friendly in Coloma, President Danielle and Chairman Paul had the pleasure of presenting our $4,000 check to K9’s for Warriors. Taykeo and Frankie accepted the check on behalf of the organization.

​

Taykeo served in the US Marine Corps for 2 1/2 years before being honorably discharged for medical reasons in 2015. He trained with and received Frankie as his companion after graduating from the K9 training on Nov. 16, 2023.

​

As all dogs in the program Frankie was a rescue dog and both he and the selected veterans go through intensive training. They now reside in Naperville, Ill and commute to work in downtown Chicago with Cyber Security.

​

We had a most enjoyable time that evening getting to know a little about them and their background.

​

We made a fintastic choice selecting K9’s for Warriors as our charity recipient with January’s Barefoot Children in the Sand. BTW the money we raised and donated is set aside for a veteran from our Michiana area sometime in the future, keeping our money local. For more info about K9’s visit their website K9sforwarriors.org.

​

BTW #2 Parrot Heads in Michiana donated $4000 to the Lone Palm Foundation with their proceeds from Barefoot Children.

​

None of this would not be possible without all of our members pitching in and the generous support of our guests and businesses who appreciate our efforts.

​

This is why we continue to ‘Party with a Purpose”!
