A fundraiser for the Special Olympics will be held in Eden Prairie beginning on June 6th and running thru June 8th. The event is called “Cop On Top” and has police officers atop a local business in sort of a marathon event to raise money for the Special Olympics. Last year, Minneapolis Police along with other agencies around the country held their events, this year Eden Prairie Police will hold an event here.
I am not sure, but I am hoping that some Eden Prairie firefighters will join in this fund raising effort, just like we did with the Polar Plunge held earlier this spring, an event that raised approximately $40,000. Below is a picture from last year’s event in Minneapolis. The location for the Eden Prairie event is planned for Rainbow Foods. I have been told that Channel 9 will be there during the event to help further promote this worthy cause.
