A lemonade stand will be held on Saturday to raise money for the family of fallen Officer James Muhlbauer.
The lemonade stand will be held at 121st Terrace and Wenonga in Leawood, in the Oxford neighborhood.
Lemonade, popcorn, sweet treats, dog treats and water will be available. Everything is $1.00.
Officer Muhlbauer and his partner, K-9 Officer Champ, were killed in the line of duty the night of Feb. 15.
Muhlbauer and Champ were in their patrol vehicle when a vehicle crashed into them near the intersection of Truman Rd. and Benton Blvd. shortly after 10:15 p.m.
Champ died at the scene. A pedestrian was also struck after the collision and that pedestrian, a man in his 50s, died at the scene too.
Muhlbauer was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, where doctors treated him, but were unable to save him. Muhlbauer died at the hospital.
Muhlbauer, 42, was a 20-year veteran of KCPD, serving his entire career in patrol, including the last three years in the K-9 Unit. Champ, a Dutch Shepard, was 3-years-old and joined KCPD a year ago.
Champ also lived with Muhlbauer and his family. Muhlbauer was married and a father. KCPD asks the public to pray for Muhlbauer’s family and to give them privacy.
The lemonade stand is run by the sisters Kaitlin and Laurin Stotts along with their mother Tracy. The two teenagers have held lemonade stands to help raise funds for fallen officers and their families for the past five years.
