BLOOMINGTON-If you drove
by Denny's Doughnuts in the Twin Cities you shouldn't have been alarmed if you
saw people on the roof.
There were officers with
the Mclean County Sheriff's Department and they were raising money for Special
Olympics.
From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. the
deputies sat atop the business in hopes of getting more people to satisfy their
sweet tooth and support the cause.
All proceeds were donated
to the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run this summer.
Officers say giving 12
hours of their time to see these athletes succeed is worth every minute.
McLean
County Sheriff's Detective, Sara Bernabei said, "For me to give up one day of
12 hours it's not really a huge sacrifice because when the summer games rolls
around and we go and we see the athletes who we are raising money for, it's so
overwhelming. It goes right to my heart."
This is the first year for
deputies on deck at Denny's. Officers hope to raise $1,000 for Special Olympics.
