TEMPLE, Texas (KXXV) — Across Central Texas in Killeen, Temple and Waco, Texas Roadhouse is hosting "Tip A Cop", allowing law enforcement to serve customers from 5 to 9 p.m. — the fundraiser supports the Special Olympics of Texas.

Officers say last year at the Temple location, they raised just under $2,700.

"The store in our area that raised the most money last year made just under $10,000, so I have high hopes," said Temple police officer, Cody Close.

"As long as we beat and meet last year's goal, I will be happy."

The goal in Temple is to raise $5,000 — Texas Roadhouse says they has a continuous history of giving back to its communities.

100 percent of all donations will go directly to Special Olympics Texas.

Participating locations include:

624 North General Bruce Drive
Temple, Texas 76504

2815 Lasalle Avenue
Waco, Texas 76706

3709 East Central Texas Expressway
Killeen, Texas 76543
