Customers at Toot’s South will enjoy “good food and fun” with a school resource officer crooning Elvis tunes at the Wings and Rings fund-raiser for Special Olympics April 5.

School Resource Officer Dick Peach will sing Elvis songs on request along with “Happy Birthday” from 5 to 8 p.m. during the Wings and Rings event for Special Olympics. Peach and other SROs will help Toot’s servers wait on customers.

Customers will be asked to donate funds for the annual Special Olympics field and track meet Thursday, April 12 at MTSU’s soccer stadium, said Special Olympics co-chair Lou Paschall.

About 350 individuals with intellectual disabilities from Murfreesboro and Rutherford schools and other educational programs will compete in the games beginning with the opening ceremony at 10 a.m.

Funds raised from Wings and Rings will be used to pay bus drivers to transport the athletes along with ribbons and lunches for the athletes.

“We need to raise funds to make sure we provide for our athletes,” Paschall said. “We hope to see community support of our athletes. We appreciate Toot’s and the SROs for everything they do.”

Peach, who is the SRO for Smyrna Elementary and Smyrna Primary schools , said he will sing the Elvis songs and even “Happy Anniversary” on request. And he will tell some jokes.

This is strictly family-oriented and we welcome families to join us in this fund-raising event for some special people, the SRO said. All donations are appreciated to help the Special Olympians.

“We appreciate owner Wade Hays and the Toot’s employees for their hospitality and their support of Special Olympics,” Peach said. “We’re happy to have them as partners. They definitely have good food and fun at Toot’s.”
