Law enforcement officers will trade badges for aprons as they collect tips from Texas Roadhouse customers; all money donated goes directly to Special Olympics Indiana. The head of the state police, Superintendent Doug Carter, said, “The Indiana State Police, and law enforcement in general, have a bond with Special Olympics and are pleased to be part of the tip-a-cop fundraising event.†This year continues to build the strong law enforcement Tip-A-Cop tradition benefitting Special Olympics Indiana.
As an LETR signature fundraising event, Tip-A-Cop invites Hoosier residents to attend one of the selected Texas Roadhouse locations, without the need of a promotional flyer, and chose from the full menu. Customers are encouraged to donate gratuities, a “Special tipâ€, to law enforcement “celebrity waitersâ€; in doing so they will help to raise funds and awareness for adults and children with intellectual disabilities. Throughout its history, the Tip-A-Cop fundraising event, with various restaurant partners, has generated over $2.5 million for Special Olympics.
Tip-A-Cop will take place from 4p.m.-10p.m. at the following Texas Roadhouse branch locations:
Monday, April 7-Columbus and Richmond
Tuesday, April 8-Greenwood
Wednesday, April 9-Terre Haute and Bloomington
Thursday, April 10-Southport (Indianapolis)
