Nearly 50 law enforcement agencies from across Indiana will partner with Special Olympics Indiana and Dunkin’ stores on Friday, May 15, for Cop on a Rooftop.

Visitors to participating Dunkin’ stores can donate money and learn more about their local Special Olympics Indiana program. Police and safety officers will be stationed in, around and on top of the stores between 5 a.m. to noon to help support and raise awareness for the 20,000 Hoosier athletes who train and compete for free within Special Olympics.

Individuals who donate to Cop on a Rooftop receive a coupon for a free donut. Those who donate $10 or more receive a coupon for a free medium hot coffee.

To date, Cop on a Rooftop events have raised more than $125,000 for Special Olympics Indiana.

Media are welcome to attend these events and interview law enforcement officers and Special Olympics athletes who are on site. Contact Joe Frollo at (260) 230-6515 for specifics about locations.
