Tyler Carach, aka The Donut Boy, continues his noble journey of thanking every cop in America… with a donut and last week, Tyler got a chance to rub elbows with some of America’s finest: the NYPD.
Stopping in Brooklyn, Tyler and his family were able to deliver 1060 donuts (1000 from Dunkin’ Donuts and 60 from The Donut Pub, local shop) to law enforcement officers in the area. He even went beyond his normal charitable duties and helped out with the Basketball Cop Foundation delivering basketballs and goals to children in the Brooklyn community; what a kid!
Throughout the week, Tyler visited various NYC neighborhoods like Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island, continuing his incredibly ambitious journey powered by gratitude and donuts. For the latest in The Donut Boy’s heart-warming adventure, stay tuned on his Facebook page.
Time to check in with the heart-warming journey of Tyler, the Donut Boy, and his family on his mission to thank every police officer in the country!
Stopping in Ellijay, GA, Tyler got to tour the local Police Department and the local Sheriff’s Office while they were gearing up for 4th of July festivities. Officers taught Tyler how to operate the x-ray machine and he definitely got his use with the metal detector wand (especially on his mom!). Donuts given away: 84 donuts, 5 dozen bought by Tyler himself and 2 dozen donated by Dunkin’ Donuts.
Next, in Asheville, NC, where Tyler and his family had summer fun on the slip and slide with Officer Joe Jones, a storm came to town and taught everyone an important lesson. While enjoying a waterfall swim, Tyler and his family had to run for cover as a nasty storm approached. Tyler’s mom broke her flip flop on her way to grab the family truck and had to think fast; she added an ALTAI™ boot to the shoe-less foot and, eventually the other, and rescued the family just in time. Wise words spoken from Tyler’s mom about the experience, “You have to look at every experience as an adventure, you can choose to be upset but that will not change anything, so you might as well laugh.” Truth.
Onto Pigeon Forge, TN and Tyler’s family safely visits town. Tyler was able to meet a local K9 who took a particular liking to him, normally indifferent of most people, but this dog can tell a good soul when he smells one! This was also a special trip as he was issued my own Junior Deputy ID card, via the Pigeon Forge Police Department. Donuts given away: 240 donuts donated by Krispy Kreme.

It’s not every day you meet an inspiring 9-year-old like Tyler Carach, also known as the Donut Boy. Tyler has taken up a special mission that made us stop in our tracks and want to highlight what this young man has been doing for the men and women of Law Enforcement.
One day, Tyler and his mother noticed several police officers at a gas station stop. Being a passionate boy about law enforcement, Tyler asked his mother, Sheena Carach, if he could buy those officers donuts – with his own money – to thank them for what they do. After that, Tyler made up his mind: to give away donuts to every single cop in America.
To date, Tyler has given away over 60.000 donuts to Law Enforcement men and women to thank them for their service. During the Summer of 2017 alone, Tyler gave over 10,000 donuts away to the New York Police Department in New York City. That summer, Tyler and his family started in Mobile, Alabama; made their way through New Orleans, Louisiana; then went onto Ft. Myers and Naples in Florida; and worked their way up the East Coast, stopping at various cities, handing out thanks in the form of a sweet, doughy treat.
Tyler’s passion for thanking every cop in America comes from his family’s strong support and history with Law Enforcement. Mother, Sheena, said, “We’re a strong supporting family of Law Enforcement men and women. I’m a former Law Enforcement Officer myself, so I know personally what they go through every single day. So it’s really amazing to be able to watch Tyler make a difference. Something as simple as a difference as a donut, says Thank You.”
Tyler wants to become a Law Enforcement professional himself one day. He told us that he dreams of either SWAT team or K9 unit, between the two, he can’t decide. But one thing is for sure, he is not looking forward to getting tasered during training!
