Tigard Police Designated as Top
Tip-A-Cop Fundraiser
In a recent communication from Special Olympics Oregon, the Tigard Police Department was identified
as the top fundraising agency within the entire state of Oregon as a result of the recent Tip-A-Cop
event. In cooperation with the Red Robin Restaurant located at Washington Square in Tigard, the
annual Tip-A-Cop event held on October 24th brought in $5313.00. The money collected in Tigard
came from the generous support of guests who dined at the restaurant during the day-long event.
Tip-A-Cop took place across the state from Portland to Medford with nearly twenty law
enforcement agencies participating
The Tigard Police Department 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 Special Olympics Oregon. 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 police. Learn more about Special 0/
