Join Everett Police officers as we trade handcuffs for aprons at Red Robin Burgers in Everett on October 22nd from 11a-8p to support Special Olympics. Enjoy great food in a fun environment while supporting a phenomenal organization that helps athletes who might not otherwise get to compete.

What?
“Tip-A-Cop” is an official Law Enforcement Torch Run Campaign fundraising event in which law enforcement officers and department personnel volunteer their time as “Celebrity Waiters” to collect tips at Red Robin Restaurants in support of Special Olympics Washington.

When:
Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 11:00AM-3:00PM and 4:00PM-8:00PM. 

Where:
In Everett at 1305 SE Everett Mall Way plus all 40 Red Robin restaruants statewide with location sites in Alderwood, Auburn Outlet Collection, Battleground, Bellevue Square, Bellingham, Bothell, Bonney Lake, Covington, Des Moines, Everett, Factoria Mall, Federal Way, Issauah, Kennewick, Kent, Lacey, Lakewood Towne Center, Mill Plain, Monroe, Northgate, Olympia, Pier 55, Puyallup, Redmond, Redmond Town Center, Renton, Silverdale, Skagit Valley, Smokey Point, Southcenter, South Puyallup, Spokane, Spokane Downtown, Spokane Valley, Tacoma, Vancouver, Vancouver Mall, Wenatchee, Woodinville, and Yakima are participating.

Why?
Changing the world is a contact sport—and Special Olympics is an everyday opportunity to make a difference.  In Washington, over 14,500 athletes are empowered to shatter stereotypes and exceed their personal bests on the playing field and in life.  Yet for every champion, there are another 13 who are waiting for the chance to win.

Impact
Together, we can make an even bigger impact in the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities, their families, and the communities in which we serve by supporting the “Tip-A-Cop” effort to raise funds and spirits for those in need.  Financial gifts will not only bring greater training and competition opportunities to Washington, but also health and hope.  In 2015, volunteers in Washington collected over $90,000 to benefit their local programs and this year, we hope to exceed $100,000.
