Char & Lemon

The Guilford Police Department will host a Tip-A-Cop fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics Connecticut on Tuesday, Nov. 10 from 12-9 p.m. at Char and Lemon in Guilford. 

During the event, law enforcement will join restaurant staff in serving and interactions with customers while helping raise funds that provide year-round opportunities for Special Olympics athletes. The money raised through Tip-A-Cop helps fund programs that directly benefit athletes, including sports training and competition, equipment, coaching, and tournaments.&nbsp; 

The impact of donations extends beyond the playing field. Fundraising supports Healthy Athletes programs that provide free health screenings and education, fitness and wellness initiatives, athlete leadership opportunities, and Unified Sports, which bring athletes with and without intellectual disabilities together as teammates. 
 “When you tip a cop, you are leaving more than a tip. You are helping create opportunities, build confidence, and empower athletes to reach their dreams,” Sgt. Nikki Mordasiewicz of the Hartford Police Department said. “Together, we serve, support, and make a difference for Special Olympics Connecticut.” 
Tip-A-Cop fundraisers provide law enforcement with an opportunity to strengthen its connection with the community while continuing to inspire inclusion for people of all abilities. All tips received will be dedicated to helping Special Olympics Connecticut provide life-changing sports, health, and fitness programs to athletes of all abilities. Tip-A-Cop is a Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Connecticut event.
