From the Newport Beach Police Department:

From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10, Newport Beach Police Department officers will serve as celebrity hosts and servers at Javier’s Restaurant (7832 Pacific Coast Highway) in the annual Tip-A-Cop Event on behalf of Special Olympics Southern California.

All monies raised at the event will go to support Special Olympics activities in Orange County.

Special Olympics athletes are children and adults with intellectual disabilities who are like other athletes – they love to train and compete, whether they win or lose. The Special Olympics provide the athletes with the chance to develop physical fitness, sports and social skills, and self-esteem.

In July 2015, the Special Olympics World Games will be held in Los Angeles, where an estimated 500,000 spectators will come together to celebrate the athletic ability and determination of over 7,000 Special Olympics athletes from 177 different countries.

These World Games will be the largest event hosted by Los Angeles since the 1984 Olympic Games. For three days preceding the Opening Ceremony, Newport Beach will serve as a Host Town, giving delegations of Special Olympics athletes and support personnel the welcome of a lifetime. The City of Newport Beach proudly supports this incredible event, and the ongoing work of the Special Olympics organization.

In past Tip-A-Cop events, the Newport Beach Police Department has raised nearly $10,000 each year for Special Olympics Southern California – Orange County Region.
