This is not out of line at all and actually a very good idea. A lot of people don't know this but Officer Long's wife is a 911 dispatcher and was working the radio the afternoon of the shooting. They do have 2 young children, an 11 year old daughter and a year old son. Officer Long's wife is my coworker in dispatch and you would never have met a better family. I know that she appreciates all of the donations and thoughts and prayers. Even if you can't donate, just say thank you to the officers and deputies working the fair tonight, or even the fire and ems personel. They are greiving as well, as most of us were in some way or another connected to Officer Long and his family. I don't really know who your contact would be to set up a place to donate, passing the helmet may be the best way to do it. I'm sure any of the law enforcement officials working the fair and race tonight would be happy to make sure the donation gets to the right place.
