In partnership with Arms of an Angel Foundation, The Woodward Opera House and The Knox Community Jazz Orchestra will be bringing you an amazing night of music. This benefit concert will raise money for the Mount Vernon Police Department as they are purchasing a new K9 Officer. With us for the evening will be K9 Officer Tuk, and K9 Officer Nova along with their handlers. Officers from the MVPD will share stories throughout the event about the K9s and the work they are doing in our community. We will hear from Chief Morgan and Captain Burns as well as Mr Dave Culbertson whose family started the Arms of an Angel Foundation. All proceeds from this event and donations collected that evening will go directly to the foundation to assist with this fundraiser. We encourage you to attend and share this evening! A meet and greet with MVPD officers will immediately follow the concert. For tickets and information visit www.TheWoodward.org
