INDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers raised $47,097.00 during the “We Are Tougher Than Cancer” fall fundraiser. The money raised was donated today to the Little Red Door Cancer Agency, Indiana Woman In Need Foundation, IMPD Wounded Warrior, and the IMPD Clothe-A-Child Program.
Through the months of October, November and December, IMPD officers who donated to the fundraiser were authorized by Chief Bryan Roach to grow a beard, wear a pink shirt under their uniform shirt, or both. This helped engage the community in meaningful conversations about cancer awareness.
Each organization is locally-based and money will be used to assist those in need during difficult times. Services provided range from transportation, specialized care, and even assistance with child care. The Indy Public Safety Foundation (IPSF) partnered in this fundraiser, collecting donations on behalf of the department. IMPD is proud to support these impactful organizations in their service to the Indianapolis community.
