According to a news release from the city of St. Charles, anyone who visits the St. Charles Dunkin’ locations from 5 a.m. to noon and donates to the fundraiser will receive a coupon for a free doughnut.

Donors giving $10 or more will receive a coupon for a free coffee and a Law Enforcement Torch Run travel mug, while supplies last. There also will be raffle tickets and Special Olympics merchandise for sale.
