Police Officers to Hit the Roofs Again for 3rd Annual Dunkin' Donuts Rooftop Stakeout Benefiting Special Olympics Indiana, May 7

CHICAGO, May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, Indiana police officers will hit the roofs--Dunkin' Donuts rooftops, that is--to benefit Special Olympics Indiana.

On Friday, May 7, beginning at 6 a.m., police officers will serve time on the roofs of 18 Dunkin' Donuts in Central Indiana and Fort Wayne to heighten awareness and raise donations for the Indiana Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics, a grassroots fundraising and awareness vehicle formed by officers and civilians from all branches of law enforcement.

To thank customers for supporting the Indiana Law Enforcement Torch Run, Dunkin' Donuts will give a coupon for a free donut to everyone who stops by a "Cop on a Rooftop" store that day and makes a donation.  For donations of $10 or more, coupons for free medium coffee will be distributed.  

"We're very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Dunkin' Donuts for Cop on a Rooftop for the third year," said Officer Troy Hintz of the Kokomo Police Department and chair of the Indiana Law Enforcement Torch Run program.  "The event raised close to $17,000 last year, which goes a long way in funding training programs and games for Hoosier athletes."

Once again, Hintz says a number of local radio stations will lend their support with remote broadcasts at certain locations, and this year, Indy 500 princesses will make appearances at select Dunkin' Donuts locations to help collect donations.

In Indiana, the Law Enforcement Torch Run was organized in 1987. Since then, the Indiana Law Enforcement Torch Run program has continued to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Indiana through its involvement with various special events and fundraising activities.  

Since the 1950s, Dunkin' Donuts has been a morning destination for millions of people who turn to Dunkin' Donuts everyday to get a fresh start with a great cup of coffee or baked good.  Dunkin' Donuts is the largest coffee and baked goods chain in the world with more than 6,500 restaurants in 35 U.S. states and the District of Columbia and more than 2,600 international restaurants in 29 countries.
