EMPHASIS: Patrol Invites Public To Tip-A-Cop Event


The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Over The Edge team invites the public to help them raise money for Special Olympics Missouri athletes by participating in a “Tip-A-Cop” event on Thursday, September 11, 2014. That evening, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., off-duty officers will serve at the Colton’s Steak House & Grill, 2415 Missouri Boulevard, Jefferson City, MO. All tips are being donated to SOMO.

Over The Edge is a rappelling event that raises funds for Special Olympics Missouri athletes. The Patrol employees are participating in this event on their own time, and have committed to raising at least $1,000 each to take part. Twenty-two Patrol employees have formed an Over The Edge team named Livin’ On The Edge. The team will take part in the Over The Edge event scheduled on Saturday, October 18, 2014, in Jefferson City.

"Special Olympics Missouri provides children and young adults with an opportunity to participate in sports, connect with their communities, and make lifelong friends." said Lt. John J. Hotz, a Livin' On The Edge team member. "We very much appreciate Colton's for supporting our fundraising efforts."
