Cops on donut shop roof collect money for charity

The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics Indiana will hold the fourth annual Cop on a Rooftop from 5 a.m. to noon on Friday, Aug. 19, at Dunkin’ in Carmel, located at 2560 E. 146th St.

During this event, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office officials will be stationed on rooftops to collect money that will go directly to support programming for Special Olympics athletes in Indiana. Special Olympics families and guests are invited to show their support. 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 coffee.
