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.
