NHP coming to Stateline for Special Olympics event

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 of Nevada and California on March 16 at the Hard Rock Café in Harveys.

Officers will be volunteer waiters and waitresses as they assist the restaurant staff that day while they work for “special tips.”

As diners are greeted, each volunteer will leave an envelope at each table for those wishing to make a donation. These tips are in addition to the server’s regular 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.

The special tips will be collected from 5-9pm.
