ILLINOIS (WCIA) — Law enforcement officers stood on top of Dunkin’ Donuts’ rooftops across the state on Friday to raise money for an important cause.

Cop on a Rooftop is part of an effort to raise money for the Special Olympics Illinois and helps to ensure that each athlete can compete at no cost.

This year, the event raised $1.2 million. It’s their largest fundraiser of the year.

From 5 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday, law enforcement officers stood atop Dunkin’ locations in the state, to rally communities in support of their local Special Olympics athletes. In Illinois, more than 350 Dunkin’ locations participated in the fundraiser.

This year marks the 22nd year of the event. Since the program began, nearly $10 million has been raised in Illinois.
