(CAMBRIDGE, Md.)- Police Officers from the Cambridge Police Department will collect donations for Special Olympics Maryland on the rooftop of the Dunkin' Donuts
located at 215 Sunburst Highway Cambridge, on Friday May 27, 2016 from the hours of 6:00am-5:00pm.
As part of a national fundraising effort for Special Olympics Maryland, good-natured officers from Cambridge Police Department will be spending the day on the roof of Dunkin' Donuts restaurant at 215 Sunburst Highway. The collective fundraising goal is $1,000.
Cops and donuts have a long, humorous history together, so it was only fitting that we team up with the great folks at Dunkin' Donuts for this light-hearted event. This event allows officers to do something great for an incredible organization and poke a little fun at themselves at the same time.
The event was founded on the idea by the law enforcement officers of Illinois, who in 2009, took to the rooftops of 94 Dunkin' Donuts locations across the state and raised more than $182,000.
Dunkin Donuts has added a special twist to our event. For every beverage that is sold between the hours of 6:00am thru 6:00pm, our Dunkin Donuts will donate .50 cents towards Maryland's Special Olympics.
