Happening Saturday, July 27 at Holder's Country Inn in San Jose - Tip-A-Cop AND Cover the Cruiser!
Join the San Jose Police Department when they trade in their badges for aprons and serve as celebrity wait staff. Also on site will be an opportunity to help SJPD "cover the cruiser" - Make a donation, receive a Special Olympics supporter icon, and place it on the patrol vehicle.
