Pasadena Police to Work as Waiters for Special Olympics Fundraiser

Pasadena Police officers will serve guests at Hamburger Hamlet later this month as part of the "Tip-A-Cop" fundraiser for the Special Olympics.

The fundraiser kicks off on Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., according to the restaurant.

"The Special Olympics have been transforming the lives of athletes with disabilities for years," Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez told the Pasadena Star-News. "Through the program's efforts, participants share the joy, pride and courage of participation. We are proud to support this cause."

Hamburger Hamlet is located at 214 S. Lake Ave.

Editor's note: This story has been changed to note that the event is this Thursday, not Thursday, March 29, as noted on the Special Olympics website and in an earlier verson. Patch called the restaurant and a reader also confirmed (see below).
