YPD hosts fundraiser for LETR
The Yuma Police Department is continuing their efforts to raise money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics by kicking off another “tip-a-cop” event.
The Special Olympics is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities. LETR helps bring awareness to Special Olympics and obtain donations for the athletes.
The money raised will help the athletes grow and continue to have opportunities to make new friends, learn new skills and discover their independence while participating in the many events.
The Olympics currently serve over 2.5 million people in more than 200 programs in 165 countries and help offer children and adults with intellectual disabilities training and competition in 30 Olympic-type summer and winter sports.
YPD employees and other law enforcement officers will be at the restaurant as “celebrity waiters” and to receive TIPS for Special Olympics. Your donation is tax deductible.
The event will be held at Buffalo Wild Wings on Monday, March 19, from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. located at 1317 S. Yuma Palms Pkwy.
