Reno, NV - Today, you'll get a chance to enjoy a barbecue meal and help out the community.

Several troopers from the Nevada Highway Patrol, as well as other employees from the Department of Public Safety, will be volunteering their time to raise money for Special Olympics.

They will be serving up some barbecue at Famous Dave's in Reno. It's all for the annual "Tip-A-Cop" event. As customers are greeted, each volunteer will leave an envelope with each table for people wishing to make a donation. These tips are in addition to the regular server's gratuity. All of the extra tips will stay in Northern Nevada to pay for the sports training and competition of local Special Olympics athletes.

Here are the specifics:

When: Friday, March 2, 2012
Where: Famous Dave's at 4925 Kietzke Lane, Reno
Time: 11am - 3pm and 5pm - 9pm

I think it's an awesome thing to help promote. I guess Jane didn't get the point that the money helps children with disabilities. The Special Olympics gives opportunity to disabled children and adults to participate and have a good time.
Gary, maybe you should get off your high horse and volunteer to help feed those in need.
