‘Cop on Top’ benefits Special Olympics Hawaii
The Hawaii Police Department is sponsoring the 14th annual “Cop on Top” fundraiser for Special Olympics Hawaii from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at Walmart stores in Hilo and Kailua-Kona.
For three straight days, law enforcement officers will spend their off-duty time perched on top a 14-foot scaffolding, eating, sleeping and raising awareness for Special Olympics Hawaii. Over the years, officers have raised $250,000 to help provide year-round sports training and competitions to children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This event is the largest Special Olympics fundraiser of the year, and 14 percent of last year’s annual budget was raised through this one event alone.
During the year’s event, there will be numerous, incentives courtesy of donations made by many sponsors. Special Olympics Hawaii will also be giving away visors, caps and T-shirts to those who donate.
