"This partnership has grown to one of the largest in the country. The men and women of law enforcement volunteer so much of their time to drive awareness and help raise the funds needed to fuel the great inclusive programing in our schools and communities for people with and without disabilities to play, live and build a community of inclusion together. We are really excited for this first ever partnership with Dunkin’ Donuts in Duluth.
