LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN
The
Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics is the movement's
largest
grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle.
Over 300 Wyoming Law Enforcement representatives and their friends are getting ready to hit the streets, highways and byways of the Cowboy state. In addition to fulfilling their duties of maintaining Law and Order and keeping our streets safe, they are fulfilling another type of duty… raising funds and public awareness for Special Olympics Wyoming athletes!
Torch Run activities take place around the state. Hundreds will escort the Flame of Hope on its way to the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Games in Laramie. The arrival of law enforcement and the lighting of the cauldron will officially begin the Games on Thursday, May 16, 2013!
Creating a fundraising page for your Torch Run efforts is a simple, fast, and convenient to let family, friends and coworkers know of your fundraising efforts AND to sponsor you! Sign up as an individual, part of a team or a collective page for any specific leg!

The Law Enforcement Torch Run® began in 1981 when Wichita Kansas(USA), Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw an urgent need to raise funds for and increase awareness of Special Olympics. At its most basic level, the Torch Run is an actual running event in which officers and athletes run the "Flame of Hope" to the Opening Ceremonies of local Special Olympics competitions, state/provincial Games, and National Summer or Winter Games.
