Cops Turn Waiters for Special Olympics Fundraiser

Join the police officers from around Montgomery County for the Tip-A-Cop fundraiser this weekend at the Red Robin restaurant, at 20001 Century Blvd. in Germantown.

Police officers will be serving food from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Police officers and deputies from the Montgomery County Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Montgomery County Park Police, Rockville City Police Department, Gaithersburg Police Department and Montgomery County Police Explorers will take part.

Law enforcement officers will trade their ticket books for order pads and serve guests alongside Red Robin’s wait staff, with tips benefitting Special Olympics Maryland, which provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports events for Maryland’s children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

The ninth annual Tip-A-Cop fundraiser is part of a national campaign by Special Olympics, Red Robin and law enforcement to raise money for local Special Olympics programs.
