On a cold, windy, December, Tuesday afternoon, Chick-fil-A of Henderson, the Henderson Police Department, the Oxford Police Department and the Vance County Sheriff’s office banded together and raised a grand total of $3,522.70 for Special Olympics of North Carolina.
Cops on Top was a 12-hour event held at Chic-fil-A on Dabney Drive from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday. It was the 11th annual event.
Local Chick-fil-A Marketing Director Susan Rogers said the goal was $3,500 and that not only was the goal met but the event surpassed last year as well. One behalf of all of the organizers, Rogers gave thanks saying, “Thank you to the citizens of Vance County for supporting Special Olympics of North Carolina.”
T-shirts and hats were available for a monetary donation, and the event included K-9 demonstrations, free face painting, visits from Smokey the Bear, Sparky the Firehouse Dog, the Chick-fil-A Cows and a bounce house courtesy of Character Antics.
