DES MOINES, IOWA (May 10, 2023) — On Friday, May 19, 5AM-12PM, the eighth-annual “Cop on a Rooftop” event will take place at participating Dunkin’s across Iowa. The event has raised a total of more than $170,000 dollars for Special Olympics Iowa during the first seven years of the program.

Here’s a quick overview:

  • On Friday, May 19, 5AM-12PM, at participating Dunkin’ locations, representatives from the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Iowa will be collecting money that goes directly to support programming for Special Olympics athletes in Iowa.
    • 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 or iced coffee.
