Richmond - Last night from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Troopers from the Pendleton Post partnered with staff from the Richmond Texas Roadhouse in collecting tips from Texas Roadhouse customers to help Special Olympics of Indiana. All donations made go directly to help over 11,000 athletes with the Special Olympics of Indiana.

As an LETR signature fundraising event, Tip-A-Cop invites Hoosier residents to attend one of the selected Texas Roadhouse locations 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. Last night Richmond Patrons donated a very generous $5,810.00 for the Indiana Special Olympics.
