Feast on chicken wings while donating to Special Olympians at the Wings & Rings event from 5 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, April 24 at Tootâs on Broad Street.
Sheriffâs School Resource Officers will ask for donations for 41 Rutherford County Special Olympians competing in the state Special Olympics competition in May.
Special Olympics Coordinator Lou Paschall said the intellectually disabled athletes will compete in track and field, aquatics, bocce, powerlifting and tennis.
âArea 16 for Rutherford County athletes uses the money donated by Tootâs diners to pay for uniforms and assessments fees for our athletes to compete,â Paschall said. âWe especially appreciate the support of Toot’s, Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh, and the Schools Resource Officers in raising money to support this event.â
General Manager Spencer Wilson of Tootâs on Broad said the restaurant will offer a Wings & Rings special of 10 chicken wings or chicken fingers and a one-half order of onion rings for $5.99 for the event.
âHere at Tootâs on Broad we love being able to give back to the community that gives so much to us,â Wilson said. âWings & Rings is a truly special night for us. Itâs an event that we look forward to each year.â
âGetting to partner with the Sheriffâs Department and Area 16 Special Olympics is an honor for me and my staff,â Wilson said. âWe are looking forward to a great evening full of âGood Food and Fun.ââ
Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh said the School Resource Officers support the Special Olympians.
âMany of our SROs attended the Area 16 Special Olympics track and field meet last Friday for Rutherford County athletes,â Fitzhugh said. âItâs very heart-warming to watch the enthusiasm of our athletes as they compete. The state Special Olympics allows the students to showcase their skills for Tennessee.â
Fitzhugh thanked Tootâs and their customers whose donations allow the Special Olympians to represent Rutherford County in the state games.
