The event benefits Special Olympics of Ventura County and Southern California. The public is invited to have an enjoyable time and support a great cause by dining out and meeting local law enforcement officers who volunteer their time to serve meals.

Deputy Sheriffs and other law enforcement volunteers will participate as celebrity servers.

The mission of the Special Olympics of Southern California is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type events for children and adults with intellectual / physical disabilities.

Donations will help provide athletic competitions for over 700 children and adults from ages 8 years and up. The donations will assist these competitors in attending training and competition free of charge as they participate in 11 sports events at over 20 training sites throughout Ventura County.
