THOMASTON — On Wednesday, May 24, from 5 to 7 p.m., the annual Tip-A-Cop for Special Olympics Maine will be held at Applebee’s of Thomaston.

“Come dine at Applebee’s and let local police, fire, EMS, Coast Guard, prison guards and jail guards serve you at this once a year event,” said local organizer Troy Peasley, in a news release.

The Maine Law Enforcement Torch Run holds fundraisers each year to support Special Olympics Maine. 

“In Knox County we have named our fundraiser a Tip-A-First Responder due to the continued support from other local agencies,” said Peasley.

McGruff will be attending this fun event. 

Patrons are asked to tip your Applebee’s wait staff as normal, and give donations to Special Olympics in envelopes left on each table.
