POSTPONED - WFPD to host “Cover the Cruiser” Special Olympics Fundraiser April 7-8 at Sam’s Club

***PLEASE NOTE - This event has been postponed due to the threat of inclement weather and will be rescheduled at a later date.

The Wake Forest Police Department (WFPD) is inviting residents to “Cover the Cruiser” to raise money for Special Olympics in North Carolina (SONC). The special event will take place Friday-Saturday, April 7-8, at the Wake Forest Sam’s Club, 11460 Royall Cotton Road.

Over those two days, from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. each day, Wake Forest Police officers will be at Sam’s Club selling “Cover the Cruiser” stickers for $5 each. Anyone who purchases one or more stickers can write their name on the sticker(s), with the goal of completely covering a WFPD ‘cruiser.’

“This is a simple, but effective way we can all work together to raise money for Special Olympics of NC,” said Cpl. J.L. McArthur. “We’re excited to see one of our cruisers covered in stickers with people’s names on them showing our community’s support for Special Olympics.”

Officers will also be selling 2023 Special Olympics NC Torch Run T-shirts for $20. The T-shirts feature the WFPD badge in recognition of the department’s Top 10 ranking among NC law enforcement agencies for Special Olympics fundraising in 2022.
