Torch Run
Oklahoma’s annual Torch Run is not only a symbolic relay, it is also a fundraising opportunity for Special Olympics Oklahoma. Runners are encouraged to collect pledges from family and friends for their participation in the event. Your pledges are a great way to encourage the runner and also raise money for the athletes of Special Olympics Oklahoma. Torch Runs are also carried out on an international level. Every two years, Oklahoma sends a delegate to run in the Final Leg of the Special Olympics World Games. Our delegate joins runners from each of the 50 states and from 46 other countries. Each year in January, the Law Enforcement Torch Run Executive Committee hosts the annual kick-off luncheon. Law enforcement officers and employees from agencies around the state attend this luncheon. Attendees are treated to lunch and given awards for their agencies. The luncheon also serves as a springboard into the new year's events. The luncheon is open to any officer or employee of any agency in Oklahoma interested in attending. For reservations contact Jennifer Lightle 918-481-1234 |
