Fundraising lunch to benefit Special Olympics set July 26 at Texas Roadhouse
Police officers from all over Champaign County are inviting people to eat lunch at Texas Roadhouse on July 26 to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., officers will serve a pulled-pork sandwich, corn, fresh-baked bread with honey-cinnamon butter and a non-alcoholic beverage. Diners are asked to leave a donation for their meal, which is valued at $10.

Diners also have a chance to win a free dinner for two at Texas Roadhouse by posting a photo from their location on social media using the hashtag "#IGotServed."

Donations benefit the more than 22,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities who participate in Special Olympics Illinois. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the single largest year-round fundraising vehicle benefiting the group.
