To support athletes with intellectual disabilities, Texas law enforcement officers are teaming up with Special Olympics Texas for a charitable cause. The Texas Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is a part of a year-long movement, where officers across the state actively seek donations while engaging with their communities. The initiative is focused on raising funds to assist in sports training and athletic competition for both children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
With the officers dedicating their time to what is dubbed the "Tip-a-Cop" events, diners at participating restaurants throughout Texas can directly contribute to the effort. As they serve patrons, officers will also be collecting donations, ensuring that the athletes in their communities receive the support they need. However, eager to support their local heroes, community members can find it challenging to identify their nearest participating location.
For those interested in supporting this cause, details can be found on the Dallas County Sheriff's Department's Facebook page. The social media post provides a link to the Special Olympics Texas website, where individuals can find their nearest Tip-a-Cop event location.
