Douglas County Sheriff's Office and CoCoMoes raise $8,849 for Special Olympics

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Nev. - The Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) teamed up with CoCoMoes Qnique Eats on September 11 to raise money for Special Olympics through a Tip-A-Cop event. They raised $8,849 to help benefit the Douglas County Special Olympics chapter.

“We want to thank CoCoMoes for going above and beyond to provide the take-out option at this year’s event,” said Scott Turek of Special Olympics Nevada. “This option allowed us to still host the event with COVID restrictions in place and the athletes were able to pair with DCSO to provide a safe and fun event.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Deputies and Special Olympians were on hand to help with getting food orders ready for pick-up, delivery, and fostering good community togetherness. CoCoMoes Qnique Eats donated 50 percent of all food orders, and 100 percent of tips generated by DCSO and the athlete servers.

“We want to thank CoCoMoes for their continued support to Special Olympics and the Douglas County community at-large,” said DCSO Sheriff Coverley. “Ben and Amber Larimer and their staff have opened their doors to host Tip-A-Cop for 2 years now, and we appreciate everything they do to help make this a success. We received amazing community support and would like to thank everyone for coming out and donating.”
