Tigard Police Ranks #1 In Oregon Special Olympics Fundraiser
In a recent communication from Oregon Special Olympics, the Tigard Police Department was identified as the top fundraising agency within the entire state of Oregon. In cooperation with the Red Robin Restaurant located at Washington Square in Tigard, the annual "Tip-a-Cop" fundraising event held on April 18th brought in $7760.00. The money raised in Tigard came from the generous support of guests dining at the restaurant during the event, as well as from various Tigard businesses and other Oregon Special Olympic supporters.

Tigard Police would like to thank everyone who played a role in the good natured competition that brings awareness and needed funding to continue worthwhile programs under the direction of Oregon Special Olympics. For decades, law enforcement throughout Oregon has been closely supportive of Special Olympics and the annual "Tip-a-Cop" event is one of several fundraising efforts conducted with support by law enforcement.
