The Hawthorne President's Council held their 43rd Annual K-9 Community Dinner and raffles on May 15th at the Hawthorne Memorial Center. This event continues to raise funds for the HPD K-9 unit and give the community an opportunity to see the K-9s in action first-hand. Every dollar raised, like every year, goes directly for the K-9 unit. Since its inception, this fundraiser has helped with the purchase of 38 police canines for the Hawthorne Police Department.
