PALOS HEIGHTS-PALOS PARK, IL — Palos Heights and Palos Park police officers will be staking out the rooftops of Dunkin' to raise money for Special Olympics Illinois athletes. The 2022 Cop on a Rooftop event will be held statewide at Dunkin stores on Friday, Aug. 19. More than 293 law enforcement agencies plan to participate.

From 5 a.m. to noon, each guest that makes a donation to the Illinois Special Olympics Torch Run will receive a coupon for a free donut. Guests who donate $10 or more will receive a Law Enforcement Torch Run and Dunkin’ branded travel mug (while supplies last) and a coupon for a free medium hot coffee.
