After a successful Cops, Pops, and Pizza event at Boston Pizza October 14th, raising money for local Special Olympians, the host restaurant wanted to add a little bit more to their fundraising total.

Lacombe Police Constable Jeff Hewitt explains.

“So Boston Pizza actually went above and beyond. So we run a similar fundraiser at Cora’s and other Boston Pizzas, and usually it will just be donations from the night, Boston Pizza here in Lacombe actually donated part of the sales from that night to Special Olympics. So above and beyond what they needed to do, so that’s excellent.”

Hewitt was on hand to accept the cheque for $1,000 to Lacombe and District Special Olympics, along with 16-year-old local Special Olympian Cobie Matheson.

It adds to the almost $1,400 raised through tips and donations to the Law Enforcement Torch Run volunteers who helped wait on guests the night of the event.
