Kevlar for K9's - Event has been postponed
Update: This event has been postponed due to COVID-19 crisis. As soon as we are able to reschedule we will. We still believe in this cause and are looking forward to hosting this event.
Come join American Legion Post 129 Saturday, April 11th for a “A Nite at the Races”. It will be a FUN filled night of raising FUNDS for a fabulous cause. Professionally called recorded horse races with programs, betting windows, raffles, food, friends, and family will all be here… so don’t miss this event.
Safety and security for our first responders is a paramount priority. This provision, we feel, should be afforded to our four legged canine counterparts too! Once again we are blessed with the opportunity to be a blessing to our very own Jacksonville Beach Police by sponsoring its newest K9 addition with its own custom Kevlar Jacket.
In addition to your attendance and participation there are several pre-race day opportunities to help make this event the success we all want it to be.
First you can sponsor a horse for the upcoming races. The cost to sponsor is only $10 donation per horse. Ownership includes naming the horse for the event programs as well as $20 in canteen cash if your horse wins the race. See bartender to sign up. Limited spaces available.
Second you can sponsor one of the races. The cost to sponsor a race is a $200 donation. With race sponsorship we will announce your business information before your race, print an advertisement in the events programs, as well as in our weekly email and on our website.
You can make your donations in person at the Post or by visiting the event page by clicking below.
100% of all donations will go directly towards the purchase of the much needed Kevlar Vest. American Legion Post 129 is also a Non- Profit 501 © and all donations are tax deductible.
