Capital Area Crime Stoppers
Events

This year Capital Area Crime Stoppers is marking 29 years in Austin and Travis County.  That’s over a quarter of a century of fighting crime right here in our community.  Crime Stoppers continues to be successful because it’s a grassroots citizen action program.  We give you the power to keep your community safer by partnering with local law enforcement and the media – all working together to solve serious felony crime.  Crime Stoppers has created a formula that works – thanks to you. These crimes might go unsolved and dangerous criminals go free if not for citizens, like you, calling in valuable crime-solving information.  And what if you don’t have any crime-solving tips?  You can help by giving a tax-deductible contribution that allows us to operate the program as well as to continue to pay cash rewards.

For 29 years, Crime Stoppers has been assisting local law enforcement in getting and keeping criminals off our streets.  Crime Stoppers tips have led to over 6,500 arrests cleared over 9,700 cases and paid out almost $970,000 in cash rewards to citizens.

May

Sign up now for the 7th annual Mulligans for Mike Memorial Golf Classic on Saturday, May 17th at Lions Municipal Golf Course.  Last year this tournament raised over $12,000 for several organizations such as Crime Stoppers and Safe Place. This charity tournament celebrates the life of Mike Adelman, who was tragically murdered in October of 2000. Through the efforts of Crime Stoppers and law enforcement, Mike’s killer was apprehended and convicted.  Mike’s family and friends honor his life by hosting this tournament and donating the proceeds to organizations that have been important in their lives. We hope you will join us in a great day of golf and help your community at the same time. And please join us on Saturday May 10th at Donn’s Depot for the silent auction event.  It will be an afternoon of fun; food and music so please stop by and have fun for a great cause.

Log on to mulligansformike.com to find out more about sponsoring and playing in this golf event.
