In Illinois, police officers participate in all kind of events to raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics, including Polar Plunges, Plane Pulls, Tip-A Cop’s, and so much more. The concept of Five-O Racing for Special Olympics is to have Law Enforcement Officers race cars that represent their department’s patrol car paint and decal scheme. Each officer, will raise a required minimum of $50
0 as an entry fee. A web based donation page will be established for each driver. The starting position for the race is based on who raises the most money with the hope that most drivers will compete to raise more money than the other drivers.
�Now is the time to start building your cars. Reach out to your towing companies and other auto related businesses that may want to sponsor you in this event. Local towing companies often have vehicles that are in good running condition but can no longer be titled and will need to be scraped. This may be the vehicle that you are looking for. You will be able to design and decorate the car as you like, so think about adding your sponsors to the vehicle. Retired police vehicles are preferred, but other vehicles should represent your agency.
