Law Enforcement Participates In 'Cop on a Roof' Fundraiser

From Special Olympic Illinois: For the 15th year in a row, law enforcement officers throughout the state will stake out Dunkin’ Donuts rooftops to support Special Olympics Illinois on Friday, May 19, beginning at 5 a.m.

Representatives from the Lake in the Hills Police Department will be on-site at the LITH Dunkin’ Donuts located at 280 N. Randall Rd., Lake in the Hills.

Officers hope to top last year’s donation total of $672,000 as they head to 274 Dunkin’ Donuts rooftops nationwide to raise awareness and donations for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.

Special Olympics athletes and their families are among the special guests who will join police officers and rise to the occasion to show their support. In honor of the Special Olympics athletes and police officers participating in the rooftop event, Dunkin’ Donuts will donate $15,000 to the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run.

In addition, each guest who visits a Cop on a Rooftop location that day and makes a donation to the Torch Run will receive a free donut coupon. Guests donating at least $10 will receive a Law Enforcement Torch Run travel mug (while supplies last) and a coupon for free medium coffee. Other items, such as Torch Run T-shirts and raffle tickets, will be sold for various donation amounts. Additional activities will vary by Dunkin’ Donuts location.

For a list of all participating locations, please visit www.soill.org. For additional information or to support the Cop on Rooftop/Special Olympics with a purchase of a hat, t- shirt or raffle ticket(s) for a Harley Davidson motorcycle, please contact Sgt. Chris Miller at cmiller@lith.org.
