Tip a Glastonbury Cop for Special Olympics

Glastonbury Police are looking for some tips … and not the kind to help them solve cases.

The officers will host a Tip-A-Cop event to benefit Special Olympics Connecticut at Bertucci’s on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at Bertucci’s, 2882 Main St. Glastonbury.

Tip-A-Cop is a Law Enforcement Torch Run event to benefit the Special Olympics. The dinner event will be held from 5 to 9 p.m.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics Connecticut is one of the movement’s largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicles. This year-round program involves law enforcement officers from across the state who volunteer their time to raise awareness and funds through events including Tip-a-Cops, Cop-on-Tops, and Jail N’ Bail fundraisers.

In addition, each year in June, over 1,500 officers and athletes carry the Special Olympics “Flame of Hope” through hundreds of cities and towns across the state, covering over 530 miles over three days. The runners run the “Final Leg” and light the ceremonial cauldron during Opening Ceremonies for the Special Olympics Connecticut Summer Games.
