EMPHASIS: Special Olympics Missouri Tip-A-Cop Event At Colton's Is A Huge Success


Captain Lee Ann H. Kenley, commanding officer of Troop I, is pleased to announce that the Tip-A-Cop event conducted on Thursday, January 9, 2014, at Colton’s Restaurant in Rolla, Missouri, was a huge success. Total proceeds from the event was $2,400, all of which will go toward sponsoring Special Olympics Missouri (SOMO) athletes in the Troop I area. This year's event exceeded all the previous Tip-A-Cop events in which Troop I officers have participated.
Captain Kenley stated, “I first want to thank all the citizens who responded by showing their support for SOMO through their donations and patronage of Colton’s. I, again, want to thank the management of Colton’s for allowing us to hold this event at their restaurant and for their benevolent generosity in donating 10 percent of their total receipts for the day to SOMO athletes. Troop I will have additional fundraising events for SOMO this year. We very much look forward to meeting with the public on those occasions and helping to raise money for the athletes.”
