A group of local second-graders are working together to raise money for animal adoptions in the sweetest of ways.

From noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, the students from the Meadows School will hold a fundraising bake sale for the Nevada SPCA. They will be joined by rescued dogs from the shelter.

Last year, the students raised more than $7,000, primarily through the sale of items costing under $1, Nevada SPCA officials said.

Meadows School is located at 8601 Scholar Lane.

Police will face-off against firefighters this weekend in the annual Guns N' Hoses benefit game.

Members of the Metro Police department and Las Vegas Fire & Rescue will play hockey to raise money for Opportunity Village.

The game is at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the Orleans Hotel and Casino, 4500 West Tropicana Avenue.

Tickets are just $10 per person.

The Las Vegas Wranglers will play the Alaska Aces following the charity game at 7 p.m.

There will be a broom battle between the Henderson Police Department and the Clark County Fire Department during intermission.
