2023 DUNKIN’ COP ON A ROOFTOP
THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who helped raise more than $925,000 across 315 locations for the 21,000 athletes of Special Olympics Illinois!
2023 marked the 20th Anniversary of the Dunkin’ and Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Illinois partnership. This partnership has been a huge success over the years; in fact, more than $7.6 million has been raised in Illinois!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
The 2023 Cop on a Rooftop event is scheduled statewide for Friday, MAY 19 from 5 a.m. to 12 p.m. Law enforcement officers are needed to staff Dunkin’ locations in their local communities to rally support for Special Olympics athletes. Each guest who makes a donation to the Torch Run will receive a coupon for a free donut. Guests who donate $10 or more will receive a LETR/ Dunkin’ branded travel mug (while supplies last) and a coupon for a free medium hot coffee.
Cop on a Rooftop is a fun, unique and easy way to raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois.
If have questions on this event, please contact Taylor Wiscons at twiscons@soill.org or 708-860-2332.
