Bloomington Post Troopers Partner with Special Olympics & Texas Roadhouse

Last night from 4 to 10 p.m. Troopers from the Bloomington Post, along with staff from the Bloomington Texas Roadhouse, helped collect tips from Texas Roadhouse customers with all donations going directly to help over 11,000 athletes with the Special Olympics of Indiana. The Superintendent of the State Police, Doug Carter, said, “The Indiana State Police and law enforcement in general, have a bond with Special Olympics and are pleased to be part of the tip-a-cop fundraising event.” This year continues to build the strong law enforcement, Tip-A-Cop tradition benefitting Special Olympics Indiana.

As a Law Enforcement Torch Run signature fundraising event, Tip-A-Cop invites Hoosier residents to attend one of the selected Texas Roadhouse locations, without the need of a promotional flyer, and chose from the full menu. Customers were encouraged to donate gratuities in envelopes marked for the Special Olympics, leaving them with troopers at the door as they left the restaurant.

Each donation made helps to raise funds and awareness for adults and children with intellectual disabilities. Throughout its history, the Tip-A-Cop fundraising event, with various restaurant partners, has generated over $2.5 million for Special Olympics.

For more information about the Indiana Special Olympics, or to host a fund raising event, please contact Stephanie Stewart, Manager of Community Partnerships (LETR) at (317) 713-4291.
