BLOOMINGTON – The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics Indiana will host the fourth-annual
Cop on a Rooftop at participating Dunkin’ locations statewide.
During these events, Bloomington Police and Indiana University Police officers will be stationed at Dunkin’ to collect money that will go directly to support programming for Special Olympics athletes in Indiana.
Officers will be at Dunkin’ at 300 South College Mall Road from 5 a.m. until noon on Friday, August 19th.
There are 25 participating Dunkin’ locations across the state of Indiana participating in the event.
Special Olympics families and guests are invited to join Bloomington Police and Indiana University Police officials to show their support for Special Olympics Indiana. Dunkin’ guests who donate to Cop on a Rooftop will receive a coupon for a free donut. Guests who donate $10 or more will receive a coupon for a free medium hot coffee.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest grassroots fundraising program benefitting Special Olympics throughout the world. In the first three years, Indiana LETR’s Cop on Rooftop events has raised nearly $50,000 dollars for Special Olympics Indiana. All the funds raised through Cop on a Rooftop help support sports training and competition
along with health, education, and leadership program opportunities for more than 18,000 people across Indiana with intellectual disabilities. In 2021, the Bloomington site raised more than $1,800 for Special Olympics Indiana and we are hoping to raise even more this year to support these athletes.
