Branford Officers to Host 20th Tip-A-Cop at Lenny's

The Branford Police Department and restaurant will be hosting its annual fundraiser on Monday August 29 from noon until closing.

Branford Police Officers will be volunteering their time waiting on tables and serving food for Lenny’s lunch and dinner patrons. The tips generated from their service will be donated to support Connecticut Special Olympics and their athletes.

Everyone is encouraged to come to Lenny’s Restaurant and show their support. Your generous tips and donations are critical to the mission of Connecticut Special Olympics (SOCT) as we enrich the lives of our Special Olympian athletes. Last year, through community donations, Branford officers were able to raise nearly $10,000 for SOCT.

Please help us continue Branford Police Officers’ long standing tradition of running Tip-A-Cop; this will be the 20th year!

Branford Police Officer Josef Herten will be organizing this year's event. Herten also recently participated in the annual Special Olympics . He ran through the entire town carrying the torch for the athletes prior to the opening ceremony of the Summer Games.
