The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office announced on April 17 that it is partnering with Special Olympics New York for a fundraising event at Applebee’s in New Hartford from 5 to 8 p.m.
The event aims to raise support and awareness for athletes participating in the Special Olympics. Community members are encouraged to attend, bring friends, and contribute to the cause while dining at the restaurant.
According to the announcement, “We’re teaming up with Special Olympics New York at Applebee’s in New Hartford from 5–8pm! Stop in, bring your friends, and support an amazing cause while enjoying a great meal. Let’s pack the place and show up for our athletes!”
This collaboration reflects ongoing efforts by local law enforcement agencies to engage with community organizations and support charitable initiatives. The partnership provides an opportunity for residents to show their backing for individuals involved in Special Olympics programs.
Organizers hope that strong attendance will help raise significant funds and demonstrate community solidarity. Future events of this kind may continue as part of broader outreach activities.
