LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI)—Wednesday morning Lafayette Police presented a more than $24,000 donation check to the
LPD raised the money through its annual Foot Pursuit 5-K which took place last year. Foot Pursuit was the only city planned event in 2020.
Through registrations and participation the event raised $5,000 more than it did in 2019. Sergeant Ian O'Shields said it's important to be there for kids in need, especially during a pandemic.
"Even though COVID-19 is going on there are still children out there that need us," said O'Shields. "There are still children out there unfortunately that are being victims to crimes and the Heartford House, they still need funds to help support those kids."
