LOS ANGELES (Oct. 13, 2017) – Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, has challenged law enforcement agencies throughout Southern California to camp out on its roofs in support of the Special Olympics Southern California. On Oct. 27, more than 19 locations across the region will participate in Southern California’s inaugural Cop on a Rooftop event. Guests of Dunkin’ Donuts will be encouraged to donate to the cause and all who take part will receive a coupon for one free medium hot or iced coffee*.
Officers are expected to hit the roofs beginning at 6 a.m. The event will run until 10 a.m. In exchange for spending time at the restaurants, Dunkin’ Donuts will donate $5,000 to Special Olympics Southern California. Special Olympics Southern California provides year-round sports training and athletic competitions in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
“Bringing the Cop on a Rooftop event to our Los Angeles Dunkin’ Donuts locations is an exciting and new opportunity to give back to the communities that we serve,” stated Aharon Aminpour, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee and CEO of Madison Food Management, LLC. “This event is a fun yet powerful way to show our support for the great work of our local Special Olympics organization, while highlighting the dedication of the officers who keep our communities safe each and every day.”
