Avon officials spend night on rooftop for fundraiser

AVON, Ind. (WISH) — Two Avon city leaders spent the night on the roof of a building for a good cause.

Avon Chamber of Commerce executive director Tom Downard and police Chief Sean Stoops ascended the school corporation building Tuesday afternoon, and they didn’t come down until late Wednesday morning.

The pair raised more than $16,000 to get the Avon Police Department new active shooter response equipment.

Their goal of $10,000 was reached around 11:30 a.m.
