Officers, athletes raise money for Special Olympics at Texas Roadhouse

Local law enforcement officers and Special Olympics athletes served tables side by side at Texas Roadhouse in Corpus Christi as part of the annual Tip-A-Cop fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics Texas.

Officers from the Corpus Christi Police Department, Robstown Police Department, Alice Police Department, Nueces County, and the Texas Department of Public Safety joined athletes from the Coastal Bend Special Olympics team for the event. Every tip collected during the event went directly to local athletes to help cover expenses tied to competition, including required medical physicals, travel to tournaments, and room and board.
