The Yuma Police Department is continuing our efforts to raise money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics by kicking off another "Tip-A-Cop" event. The event will be held at Chili’s Restaurant (Yuma Palms) this Friday, January 27, 2012 from 11:00am - 9:00pm.
Special Olympics is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically-fit and respected members of society. Special Olympics offers children and adults with intellectual disabilities training and competition in 30 Olympic-type summer and winter sports. Special Olympics currently serve over 2.5 million people in more than 200 programs in 165 countries.
The Yuma Police Department along with other Law Enforcement agency representatives will be at the restaurant as "celebrity waiters" and to receive tips for Special Olympics. Your donation is tax deductible.
Please join us at Chili's restaurant, meet your local police department and Special Olympics athletes.
