Imagine stepping into your favorite local restaurant, greeted not by the usual staff but by the friendly faces of your community’s police officers, all geared up not for patrol but to serve you dinner. This isn’t your typical Tuesday night out. It’s an evening where dining meets compassion, where every bite contributes to a noble cause. Welcome to the special night at FoxFire Restaurant, an event that promises to blend unforgettable flavors with unforgettable acts of kindness.
On the evening of Tuesday, March 26, from 5 to 9 p.m., the charming setting of FoxFire Restaurant, located at 17 W. State St. in the heart of downtown, transforms into a stage for charity. But it’s not just any charity event; it’s a moment where Geneva’s finest, our dedicated police officers, swap their badges for aprons and their patrol routes for service rounds. The purpose? To support a cause that’s close to many hearts – the Special Olympics Illinois.
The “Tip-A-Cop” event is more than just a novel dining experience. It’s a part of a much larger movement, the Law Enforcement Torch Run, which unites officers from across the nation in a shared mission to raise funds for the Special Olympics. This unique initiative not only highlights the dedication of our law enforcement officers beyond their call of duty but also brings the community together for a cause that champions inclusivity, determination, and courage.
As guests savor their meals, they’re invited to be part of this wonderful cause in several ways. A portion of the evening’s sales, along with 100% of the donations collected, will go directly to Special Olympics Illinois. This means that every order placed, and every dessert indulged in, contributes to supporting athletes who inspire us with their bravery and spirit.
But the giving doesn’t end there. The night also features a 50/50 drawing, offering guests a chance to win, but more importantly, another avenue to give. It’s an opportunity to leave the restaurant not just with a satisfied appetite but with a full heart, knowing that your evening out has made a direct impact on the lives of so many.
For those interested in being part of this special night, making a reservation is as easy as picking up the phone. Simply call FoxFire Restaurant at 630-232-1369 to secure your spot. It’s not just a reservation for a meal; it’s a reservation for making a difference.
The Geneva Police Department, along with Sgt. Mark Russo, who can be contacted at 630-232-4736 for more information, extends its heartfelt thanks in advance to all who participate. This event is a testament to the power of community and the shared commitment to supporting one another, especially those among us who face extraordinary challenges.
So, mark your calendars and ready your appetites for an evening where community service, fine dining, and heartfelt giving come together. The “Tip-A-Cop” night at FoxFire Restaurant is more than just an event; it’s a reflection of the spirit of Geneva – a community that cares, supports, and uplifts.
