Many of you know I have been involved with Special Olympics NC for 25 years! I’ve had the pleasure and privilege to be involved in many events to raise awareness and support.
Covid has had an impact on so many and I understand not everyone can donate at this time and that is ok! Please consider a donation or sharing the link. Thank you!
The Law Enforcement Torch Run raises important awareness and funding for Special Olympics North Carolina. The annual statewide Torch Run Relays carrying the Flame of Hope throughout hundreds of communities every May traditionally precede the SONC Summer Games and are the heart and soul of the North Carolina Law Enforcement Torch Run efforts. Historically thousands of law enforcement across the state run in this symbolic event as Guardians of the Flame carrying and presenting the Flame of Hope to light the cauldron as the official start of the SONC Summer Games.
With the cancellation of the 2020 SONC Summer Games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Special Olympics North Carolina, along with the support of hundreds of local law enforcement volunteers are hosting this years Torch Run Relay campaign – virtually!
