On Thursday, October 18, 2007, Applebee's restaurants will be sponsoring a "Tip-A-Cop" fund raising event to benefit Special Olympic Athletes. "Tip-A-Cop" is an event where Riverside County Sheriff's Department personnel and other law enforcement officers are "celebrity waiters" at the restaurant.

The "celebrity waiters" assist the regular servers with serving food and drinks. At the completion of their meals, they ask the patrons to support the "Special Olympics". 100% of these donations go directly to the athletes for equipment, uniforms or transportation to their year-round competitions.

There are nine Applebee's restaurants in our service area that are participating in this event. These restaurants are located in the cities of Corona, Riverside, Hemet, Murrieta, Moreno Valley, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Temecula and the community of Mira Loma. This event is from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
