Two local businesses have teamed up to challenge others to donate to the Lincoln City Police Department’s K-9 program’s fund raising efforts and help reach the fundraising goal of $75,000.00. Meredith Lodging and Oksenholt Capital are joining forces in a matching funds campaign to fully fund the Lincoln City Police K9 Project. Meredith Lodging and Oksenholt Capital’s campaign will donate up to $10,000 in matching community donations between now and December 31st to help get this project fully funded. The members of the Lincoln City Police Department are excited about the donation match challenge and we appreciate Meredith Lodgeing’s and Oksenholt Capital’s support of the K-9 fund raising effort. We would again like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all the citizens, businesses and organizations who have already donated to the fund raising efforts for the department to obtain and implement a K-9 program. The response and support thus far from the public for the implementation of the K-9 program has been phenomenal and approximately $55,000 of donations have been received. Donations toward the K-9 program can be made in the following ways: through a Go Fund Me account at https://www.gofundme.com/lincoln-city-k9-program-fund, or at www.lincolncityk9.com. Donations can also be mailed to the Lincoln City Police Department, Attention K-9 Fund, 1503 SE East Devils Lake Road, Lincoln City, OR, 97367.
