Boyds thank community for Larry’s Dunes & Dogs fundraiser

From staff reports

The Boyd family would like to extend their appreciation to the many people who assisted in making the Larry’s Dunes & Dogs inaugural event on July 2 a success. The fundraiser was held in honor of Lawrence Boyd IV, a Traverse City parking services employee who last November was shot and killed on the job.

“Our family feels very blessed by the outpouring of kindness and support received from the community and Larry’s close friends and family,” said Larry Boyd, Sr. “We are looking forward to next year’s event in early June … God Bless.”
