If you spot a cop on top of The Donut Stop, be sure to give a lot.  It’s not part of a stakeout, it’s a Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) fundraiser for Special Olympics Texas (SOTX) – Panhandle area.

LETR officers will camp out on the roof of The Donut Stop, located at 5815 I-40 West, from 5:30 p.m. on September 7 through 12:00 p.m. on September 9, to collect money for and raise awareness of SOTX.  During the three-day event, patrons and passers-by will be able to drop off donations to help support area athletes.

Throughout the Cops on Top weekend, you can also surrender donations at The Donut Stops located at 3369 Bell Street, 1905 South Georgia Street, 4300 South Coulter Street and 3605 West 45^th Avenue.  For more details or to learn about volunteer opportunities in the Panhandle area, contact Megan Spivey (mspivey@sotx.org) at 806.374.7171.
