Avon community leaders hosting police fundraiser atop building

AVON, Ind. (WISH) — The Avon police chief and chamber of commerce director will go head to head in a fundraising competition Tuesday.

Chief Sean Stoops and Avon Chamber of Commerce executive director Tom Downard will be on top of the Avon Community School Corporation building starting at 5 p.m.

The first to raise $5,000 gets to come down. The other will stay on the building until the goal is met.

The funds will help Avon police buy ballistic helmets and chest plates for officers to use during active shooter situations.
