*** UPDATE - Our Tip-a-Cop event is ON for tomorrow night (Wednesday, July 2nd, 5:30-8:00pm)! ***
Come on out to support the Special Olympics at Lazy Dog!

Oxnard Police officers will be volunteering to "serve" - in a different capacity - to benefit the Special Olympics. Join us as OXPD officers will be waiting tables at Lazy Dog Restaurant at The Collection at RiverPark. Lazy Dog will be donating 15% of sales in this time frame to the Special Olympics through the 2025 Law Enforcement Torch Run. In addition, all tips earned by our serving officers will be donated. We hope you'll join us, bring your charitable generosity... and your appetite!

“Tip-A-Cop” is an official Law Enforcement Torch Run Campaign fundraising event in which law enforcement officers and department personnel volunteer their time as “Special Guest Waiters” to collect tips at a restaurant in support of Special Olympics Southern California.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest public awareness vehicle and grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics with more than 1,200 officers involved in Southern California championing acceptance and inclusion. Learn more at: https://sosc.org/letr/
