The Hawaii Police Department would like thank the community for helping to make the recent “Badges and Buckets” fundraiser a huge success.
“Badges and Buckets” is a rebranding of what was formerly known as “Cop on Top” and is Special Olympics Hawaii’s largest annual grassroots fundraiser.
The Special Olympics delegations are extremely grateful for such a tremendous showing of support in this 20th year the event has been held on island.
Held Oct. 5 through Oct. 7 at the Hilo Walmart, the fundraiser featured off-duty officers, volunteers and Special Olympics athletes raising awareness and collecting donations for Special Olympics Hawaii.
Due to the community’s generous donations, Special Olympics East Hawaii raised $20,000.
The donations will directly benefit Special Olympics Hawaii and its efforts to provide year-round sports programs for athletes, including opportunities to participate in regional and national competitions.
Special Olympics West Hawaii will be holding its “Badges and Buckets” fundraiser at the Kona Walmart Friday, Nov. 10, through Sunday, Nov. 12.
