Daniel McNatt said Athens will partner with the Limestone County Sheriff’s Department on April 25 and 26 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. both days at the Athens Wal-Mart for Cops on Top. Officers will be on a scissor lift high in the sky encouraging shoppers and passersby to donate. This money will help Special Olympic athletes from Alabama with transportation to state games, equipment, and if needed, uniforms. Athens Police and the Sheriff’s Department raised $10,000 last year.
In addition, APD is selling Torch Run T-shirts for $10. They have sizes small to 3XL. Call 256-233-8700 for more information.
On May 15 a leg of the Torch Run will come through Athens. It will start at the Limestone County Courthouse, and residents can wear these shirts and come out and support the run.
