Badges & Buckets bring law enforcement and communities together across the islands in support of Special Olympics Hawaiʻi athletes.
Formerly known a Cop on Top, this signature Law Enforcement Torch Run event puts a new spin on a longtime tradition. For three days, off-duty law enforcement officers take to elevated platforms while their fellow officers hit the ground with donation buckets – raising awareness and rallying their communities behind Special Olympics Hawaiʻi athletes.
The support generated through Badges & Buckets helps Special Olympics Hawaiʻi provide year-round sports, competitions, health programs, and opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities across the state.
Stop by a Badges & Buckets location, say aloha to our participating officers, and show your support for Special Olympics Hawaiʻi athletes.
Every bucket filled helps create more opportunities for athletes to train, compete, build confidence, and be part of a community where everyone belongs.
