The Hawaii Police Department is proud to sponsor the 14th annual Cop on Top fundraiser for Special Olympics Hawaii.
From 7 a.m. Aug. 17 to 3 p.m. Aug. 19, East and West Hawaii law enforcement officers will spend their off-duty time perched atop 14-foot scaffolding at the Hilo and Kona Wal-Mart stores. For three consecutive days, the officers will be eating, sleeping and raising awareness for Special Olympics Hawaii within the community.
Through the years, the efforts of Hawaii Police Department officers have raised more than $250,000 to help provide year-round sports training and competitions to children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
The event is the largest Special Olympics fundraiser of the year, with 14 percent of last year’s annual budget raised through this single event alone.
During this year’s event, there will be numerous incentives through donations made by many local sponsors.
Special Olympics Hawaii also will be giving away visors, caps and T-shirts to those who donate.
