The event takes place Friday, November 7, through Sunday, November 9, at four California Pizza Kitchen locations and two Goma Tei locations on Oahu.

“We are thrilled to bring Tip A Cop back this fall, and are so grateful for the support of our restaurant partners California Pizza Kitchen and Goma Tei,” said Tracey Bender, Special Olympics Hawaii’s Director of Development. “This event not only raises critical funds for our athletes but also allows our community to see the incredible commitment of our off-duty, volunteer officers who support our mission. We invite everyone to join us in supporting Special Olympics Hawaii and making a meaningful impact for our athletes.”

Since its inception, Tip A Cop has raised $575,259 for Special Olympics Hawaii. Proceeds from this fundraiser will help Special Olympics Hawaii continue to provide year-round sports training and competition and health, wellness and leadership programs for over 3,000 athletes statewide with intellectual disabilities, free of charge. Since 1968 Special Olympics has been changing attitudes about the talents of people with intellectual disabilities and raising awareness to build an inclusive and unified community.
