HONOLULU — To raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Hawaii, volunteer, off-duty law enforcement officers will take their duties to new heights for this year’s 18th annual “Cop on Top.”
During the event, from Aug. 23-25, participants will rise to the occasion accepting donations from atop 10-foot scaffolds fronting most Hawaii Walmart stores.
Officers will be on the Walmart Lihue store Thursday to Saturday.
“It’s an honor to be part of Cop on Top’s 18th year and to once again connect our customers and associates to the life-changing work that Special Olympics Hawaii does,” said Lance McAlister, Walmart Hawaii market manager. “It’s inspiring to see our local law enforcement engage with the community and our customers to raise awareness for an important cause.”
Donations collected from Cop on Top directly benefit Special Olympics Hawaii and their efforts to provide sports programs for athletes year-round, including opportunities to participate in regional and national competitions. Since 2001, Cop on Top has raised more than $3.4 million for Special Olympics Hawaii athletes statewide.
