In 2008, all Claim Jumper Restaurants in Southern California hold a Tip-a-Cop dinner on April 24, 2008.  Check the schedule below for the nearest Claim Jumper and make plans to attend a fun event and help use raise a lot of money for our athletes.
Participating Red Lobster
restaurants will host
"Cops & Lobsters" 
dinners from February
until the end of May.  Contact your local Red Lobster restaurant to find out when they will have their special dinner. 
Tip-a-Cop Dinners
One of the main fund raisers that the Law Enforcement Torch Run holds to raise money for Special Olympics.  At a typical Tip-a-Cop dinner, officers serve as celebrity waiters and serve up fantastic meals.  All tips received are given to local Special Olympic programs. 

Tip-a-Cop has been a favorite way for officers to raise money and the public cannot wait to have the officers wait on them hand and foot.  Call you local law enforcement agency and ask when they are having their Tip-a-Cop dinner.  Where "Protect & SERVE" has a whole new meaning!

Other Events (Plane Pulls, Fire Truck Pulls, 5/10K Runs, Car Shows, Guacamole Bowl, Bike Rides, Raffles, Golf Ball Drops, etc...)

We have also listed our other events on this page.  Every event is designed to bring awareness to Special Olympics and to raise money for our athletes.  Monies raised will be forwarded to the Special Olympics Program in the area in which the event was held.
