Law Enforcement Torch Run
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics unites officers from law enforcement agencies and corrections departments across the state in an effort to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics South Carolina.
Torch Run fundraising efforts include: collecting corporate sponsorships, Torch Run apparel sales and hosting unique fundraising events such as rooftop sits, polar plunges and golf tournaments.
Officers volunteer their time to support their local athletes and all funds raised by law enforcement personnel go to Special Olympics. These donations are directed into: program support and development, expenses for athlete participation in local, regional, state and international competitions as well as training workshops and conferences.
