YPD to host ‘Tip A Cop’ fundraiser

The Yuma Police Department is raising money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics by hosting a ‘Tip A Cop’ event.

The event will be held at Famous Dave’s located at Yuma Palms Pkwy, on Thursday, December 6, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The Special Olympics is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The money and awareness YPD raises 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 Special Olympics offers.

The Special Olympics offers children and adults with intellectual disabilities training and competition in 30 Olympic-type summer and winter sports and are currently serving over 2.5 million people in more than 200 programs in 165 countries.

YPD employees and other law enforcement officers will be at the restaurant as “celebrity waiters” to receive TIPS for Special Olympics.
