North Escambia’s ‘Donut Boy’ Takes His Mission To Oregon To Thank Cops
October 4, 2016
Tyler Carach of Bratt is continuing on his mission to thank every police officer in the U.S. with a doughnut.
He flew across country late last week in his first plane ride ever to thank law enforcement in Oregon. Tyler, 8, met and shared doughnuts with the Eugene (OR) Police Department, the Springfield (OR) Police Department, Lane County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police, thanks to radio station 94.5 Mix FM.
“Way to go Tyler and thank you for continued support,” Oregon State Police tweeted. He also received a special thank you proclamation from the Eugene (OR) mayor.
NorthEscambia.com first introduced the world to Tyler, AKA “Donut Boy”, back in the summer when he decided to spend his own money to buy doughnuts for Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies that were inside Gilley’s Store in Bratt. From there, he created the “I DONUT need a reason to THANK a cop” program after providing over 400 Krispy Kreme doughnuts to the entire Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. He also recently paid a visit to the Flomaton (AL) Police Department. [Read more in a previous story...]
A doughnut shop in Springfield, OR, provide the donuts needed for Tyler’s Oregon trip, while an Oregon credit union contributed toward the airfare and a hotel chain provided the room for Tyler and his mom, Sheena Carach.
Tyler’s good deeds were covered by several Oregon newspapers and television stations, and on Monday his story was picked up by the nationally syndicated program Inside Edition.

Tyler has so much love to give…..all of our kids do….and I am so happy to be able to stand behind him and support him on this incredible journey of love and thanks. I have never seen Tyler so excited about anything in his life so as a mom it has been incredible to watch his joy from all of this as well as the joy it brings to the officers!!! Nothing better than seeing your child achieving their dreams while giving back to others. Thank you again for your support!
