Media Release

After a hiatus due to the pandemic, the Hawai‘i Police Department is proud to sponsor the 19th annual Cop on Top fundraiser for Special Olympics Hawai‘i with a three-day event at the Hilo and Kona Walmart stores starting at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 25, 2022, through Saturday, August 27, 2022, at 3:00 p.m.

For three straight days, law enforcement officers will spend their off-duty time perched on top a 15-foot scaffolding at the east and west Hawai‘i Walmart locations, eating, sleeping and raising awareness for Special Olympics Hawai‘i within the community. Donations collected from Cop on Top directly benefit Special Olympics Hawai‘i and their efforts to provide year-round sports programs for athletes, including opportunities to participate in regional and national competitions. Since 2001, Cop on Top has raised more than $3,437,236 for Special Olympics Hawai‘i athletes statewide.

During this year’s event there will be giveaways, prizes, and much more. The Special Olympics Hawai‘i will also be giving away visors, caps, and t-shirts to those who donate.
