Krispy Kreme and the Law Enforcement Torch Run® are teaming up for Cops on Doughnut Shops to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Oregon and Special Olympics Washington. Officers will take to the roofs of Krispy Kreme retail stores in select locations across the country during the last weekend of April from 6:00 a.m. on Friday, April 29, until 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 1.
Cops on Doughnut Shops is taking place at the Beaverton Krispy Kreme at 16415 NW Cornell Road and the Vancouver Krispy Kreme at 8517 NE Andresen Road. The funds are being raised through the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR), a program of Special Olympics composed of members of the law enforcement community. The Beaverton store will host officers from Oregon Air National Guard, and the Vancouver Krispy Kreme will host volunteers from the Centralia Police Department.
LETR hopes to raise $5,000 during this year’s event. Customers who donate $5 or more to the cause will get a sweet treat from Krispy Kreme. For generous corporations, organizations, or individuals donating $1,000 or more, these Krispy Kreme participating locations will give a complimentary doughnut party.
Cops on Doughnut Shops is a Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) event in which all proceeds benefit Special Olympics Oregon. LETR is Special Olympics’ largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle. The LETR is present in all 50 U.S. states, Canadian provinces and 46 nations around the world. In 2010, the LETR raised more than $38 million for Special Olympics programs around the world and has raised more than $300 million since its inception in 1981.
