Tip a Cop @ Macaroni Grill a Success!

Webmaster — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 00:42:41 +0000

We raised $1,350 for Kadena Special Olympics at the Mac Grill Tip-a-Cop! Great job everyone! We had plenty of volunteers and everyone had a good time, even the Mac Grill staff. A few people worked both nights and we had some repeats from last year. Mac Grill also treated us very well, fed us, and invited us back next year. Special Thanks to the Marine Corps (PMO) for taking lead on the event, submitting the paperwork for the approval, coordinating the volunteers, and working the event.

Next event is Tip-a-Cop at Chilis & Chilis Too on 14 Oct. After Chilis, we have the Jog-a-Thon on 19 & 20 Oct (0700-0700).
