Summary

Local organizations including the Sheriff's Assist Team, Salvation Army, Lions Club and Horsin' Around Rescue are holding several fundraising and community-support events around Veterans Day; details and times were described on KWCD’s First Watch.

Several Cochise County community groups announced upcoming fundraisers and events on KWCD’s First Watch, including pancake breakfasts, bingo, the Salvation Army kettle kickoff, the county sheriff's charity ride recap and a tack sale benefiting Horse 'n Around Rescue.

Lori Fifcote of the Sierra Vista Lions Club described a bingo fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 8 at the Lions Club hall (125 S. Huachuca Blvd.) and a pancake breakfast on Sunday, Nov. 9 from 8 a.m. to about 10:30 a.m. Advance bingo cards were available by contacting Christy at (520) 508-3120; advance breakfast tickets were priced at $6, $8 at the door.

Sheriff Mark Danels recapped the 13th annual Cochise County Sheriff’s Charity Ride and said the event raised funds distributed via grants to local groups, and that roughly 500 people participated. He also said the sheriff’s office will again participate in Veterans Day activities — including a pancake fundraiser on Veterans Day and the traditional parade — and acknowledged Canyon Vista Medical Center’s veteran wall inductions.

Danels said he will emcee the Salvation Army kettle kickoff and urged people in need of meals or addiction services to contact local Salvation Army resources.

Steve Boyce of Horsin' Around Rescue discussed the rescue’s biannual tack sale — scheduled for Saturday the 15th, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. at Single Star Ranch on Highway 92 — and said proceeds support rehab and adoption of seized or donated horses. Boyce described the rescue’s two-year typical rehabilitation-to-adoption timeline for some horses and gave examples of past holiday deliveries to adoptive families.
