Cops on Doughnut Duty for a Good Cause

Tampa Police officers will dangle buckets from Krispy Kreme's rooftop Thursday to collect donations for Special Olympics Florida.

The Tampa officers are on doughnut duty for the Special Olympics.  The annual fundraiser helps provide financial support for disabled athletes.

It all takes place Thursday, March 21 to Saturday, March 23, from 6-10 a.m.

Tampa Police officers will take to Krispy Kreme's rooftop to raise money for
Special Olympics Florida during the 8th Annual Cops on Doughnut Shops.
Officers will reel down buckets filled with coupons from the roof to customers
who donate $1 or more to the cause.

The money that is raised during the three-day event is used to help athletes
with intellectual disabilities participate in Olympic style sporting events
during the summer.  

The games will be played at Disney's Wide World of Sports
this May.

There will be a special guest at the doughnut shop Thursday morning, at 7:45 a.m. Chief Jane Castor will join Chad the horse as he trots through the drive-thru for his customary jelly doughnut.

Head out to the Krispy Kreme, 3113 West Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa.
