Members of several Napa County law enforcement agencies plan a joint fundraiser for the Special Olympics of Northern California by holding a “Tip-A-Cop” event at the Napa Applebee’s Restaurant.
This is part of the fundraising efforts by local law enforcement officers in preparation for the annual law enforcement torch run, and the Special Olympics of Northern California, which will be in June of this year at UC Davis University.

The mission of the Special Olympics is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for individuals with mental retardation. In Northern California, more than 14,000 persons have participated in local, area, and chapter-wide competitions. The programs are offered at no expense to all eligible athletes, and are possible solely due to generous financial contributions and many very dedicated volunteers.
Uniformed officers will team with regular wait staff to wait on tables. In addition to the tips customers leave their respective servers, a donation may be made to the Special Olympics; 100% of all “Tip-A-Cop” donations will go to help fund the needs of the Special Olympics.
