Several troopers from the Nevada Highway Patrol, as well as other employees for the Department of Public Safety, will be volunteering their time to raise money for Special Olympics Nevada and California on June 14 in the Hard Rock Café inside Harveys.

Troopers will serve as volunteer waiters and waitresses as they assist the restaurant staff that day while they work for “special tips.” Each volunteer will leave an envelope with each table for those wishing to make a donation. These tips are in addition to the regular server’s gratuity.

All of the extra tips will stay in Northern Nevada and Northern California to pay for the sports training and competition activities for athletes enrolled in Special Olympics Nevada/California programs.

Additionally, law enforcement officers and firefighters will be competing in a chicken wing eating contest about 4pm that same day.
