Cops
raise funds for Special Olympics
Everybody’s
wanted to tell a cop what to do at one time or another–and
have him do it.
Now’s
your chance during the “Tip‑A‑Cop” fundraiser
from 5‑9 p.m., April 26, at the selected Claim Jumpers
restaurant locations.
Law
enforcement personnel throughout Arizona will wait tables
at the five sites to raise funds and awareness for Special
Olympics Arizona.
All
tips earned during the annual fundraiser hosted by the Arizona
Law Enforcement Torch Run will go to the nonprofit organization.
Last year, participating officers raised nearly $24,000
for SOAZ during the event.
“We’re
looking forward to putting on our aprons and taking orders
for our friends at Special Olympics Arizona,” said Sgt.
Gil Soto of the Phoenix Police Department. “We encourage
everyone to stop by to have a great meal, a one‑of‑a‑kind
dinner experience, and to bond with our officers on behalf
of SOAZ.”
Participating
locations are 3063 W. Agua Fria Freeway in Deer Valley;
1530 W. Baseline Road in Tempe; 7000 Shea Blvd. in Scottsdale;
101st Avenue and McDowell Road in Avondale; and
3761 E. Broadway Blvd. in Tucson.
