The Marion County Sheriff’s Office raised over $6,000 for the Special Olympics Florida this past week during its annual Tip-a-Cop event.
On Thursday, April 21, the participating MCSO deputies arrived at the LongHorn Steakhouse located at 307 SE 17th Street in Ocala, and they served as celebrity waiters from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
All funds that were raised during the event will benefit the Special Olympics Florida, a nonprofit organization that provides year-round sports training and competition to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, at no cost to the athlete or their caregiver.
The sheriff’s office shared multiple pictures from the event.
In a post on Facebook, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said, “We want to thank LongHorn Steakhouse, and all the generous citizens who helped benefit the Special Olympics.”
