Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico State Police and local officers are teaming up with Chili’s Grill & Bar locations across the state tonight for the annual Tip-A-Cop fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics New Mexico.
According to Special Olympics New Mexico, officers will volunteer as “celebrity servers” from 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6, collecting tips and donations to support year-round athletic programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
In Albuquerque, residents can visit Chili’s at 6909 Menaul Blvd. NE to meet state police recruiters and enjoy dinner while contributing to the cause. Additional Chili’s locations across New Mexico are participating in the same timeframe.
The event is part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a nationwide campaign connecting public safety personnel with Special Olympics through fundraising and community engagement. All proceeds stay within the state to fund local athletes and events.
Organizers encourage diners to stop by, leave a generous “tip,” and thank the officers for serving both at the table and in their communities.
