Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit organization that relies on donations and fundraising in order to pay out rewards for information to help solve crimes.  Currently, Crime Stoppers is having a Queen of Hearts drawing every Sunday night at 7pm at Weebles located at 4136 N Peoria Rd.   Additionally, our annual golf outing is fast approaching at Piper Glen Golf Course.  Deadline to register is June 21^st.  Additional information and event details regarding these events is available on this website, cashfortips.us.
