Ten-year-old Tyler Carach, from Florida, is on a mission to thank as many police officers across the country as he can by bringing them donuts.
He’s become known as “The Donut Boy” and he will be making a visit to Fairview today, July 2, as part of his national tour to thank a cop. You can stop by and meet Tyler from 2:30pm – 4:30pm at the Fairview Police Department at 7100 City Center Way, Fairview.
How it all Started
On his blog, Tyler shares how in August 2016, he saw four deputies and asked if he could use his allowance to buy them their favorite snack – donuts.
Tyler writes:
“After doing so, I asked my mom why the Officers were so excited over a snack and she explained that unfortunately a lot of people choose to judge a whole by a few and because of that some people were not very kind to Officers and even tried to hurt them. She explained that you can never judge a whole by a few because there is no group that is 100% perfect and the Officers were super excited about the snack because they were happy to be appreciated. It was at that moment, I decided I wanted to do more for the Officers. I told her that I was going to thank every single Officer in America and give them each their favorite treat…DONUTS…or power rings as some may call them!”
Wearing the appropriate super hero cape adorned with donuts, Tyler has spent all of his school breaks making this journey to over 30 states gifting donuts to law enforcement across the country. A donation site has been created to help assist in the cost of the donuts or often the family will pay for the donuts themselves. Watch this video below where Tyler explains his mission. You can make donations on the website here.
Tyler created a Facebook page titled “I DONUT need a reason to THANK a cop” where you can follow his journey across the country to thank local law enforcement.
