NORMAL – Police in Normal are trying to dodge the raindrops on the rooftop of Dunkin’ Donuts to raise money for Special Olympics.
Community Service Officer Greg Leipold is one of three officers taking part in today’s fundraiser.
“It’s only our fourth year, but it’s the 15th year that Dunkin’ Donuts has partnered with police officers across the Midwest,” Leipold said. “It’s all for a great cause. It’s all for those athletes.”
The cops will be on the roof of Dunkin Donuts at 1603 N. Main St. until 2 p.m.
Donors get free donuts. NPD is also holding a live auction on its Facebook page today. Items include a firepit, crossbow, Chicago Bulls tickets and Botox treatments.
All money will be donated to Special Olympics.
Bloomington’s Cop on Top will be on June 7 ahead of the Special Olympics Summer Games in Bloomington-Normal June 9-11.
