There are various reasons why a kid could be awarded a free coupon.

“Wearing a helmet while riding a bike, picking up litter, helping a neighbor, or holding the door open – the result is the same: a FREE Slurpee® drink and encouragement for being a great citizen," a spokesperson for the Brookville Police Department said.

7-Eleven will issue more than 550,000 coupons to more than 1,300 participating law enforcement agencies across the country.
