Tip-A-Cop

Law enforcement personnel volunteer their time as "celebrity waiters" in restaurants thoughout Florida and receive tips to raise funds for Special Olympics. These officers work closely alongside the regular wait staff, serving water and coffee, and acting as hosts.

Special Events Around The State

In addition to the annual Torch Run and sales T-shirts and hats, the law enforcement community raises thousands of dollars for Special Olympics each year by hosting local fundraising events in communities throughout Florida.  If you have an upcoming fundraising event that you would like posted to this page and/or photos (JPG format) that recap your event, please e-mail all information to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
