Las Cruces Cops to Wait Tables to Raise Money for Special Olympics

Get your tips ready, Las Cruces. Your police department will be serving up hot rolls and sizzling steaks for your tips -- and all your money goes to the Special Olympics.

 Las Cruces Police officers will participate in a Tip-A-Cop fundraiser Thursday to benefit New Mexico Special Olympics.

The Tip-A-Cop fundraiser will be held from 4-9 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant, 2200 E. Lohman Ave. in Las Cruces.

LCPD officers will help seat customers and act as servers to generate tips that are donated to New Mexico Special Olympics. Officers also will be selling Law Enforcement Torch Run T-shirts and wrist bands during the Tip-A-Cop fundraiser.

Donations from the Tip-A-Cop evening help families of Special Olympians with travel and lodging expenses during the New Mexico Special Olympics games held annually in Albuquerque.
