The mission of the Nevada Law Enforcement Torch Run, in partnership with our communities, is to support Special Olympics Programs through fundraising and public awareness, while enhancing the quality of life of our athletes.
Over 500 law enforcement personnel from Federal, Military, State, County and Local agencies participate in the Torch Run campaign. It is a year round fundraising campaign that culminates every year at the Special Olympics Nevada Summer Games in June. The Special Olympics Summer Games celebrates the end of the spring sports season, bringing together over 250 Special Olympics athletes throughout Nevada to in a variety of different sports. The games officially begin after the Final Leg of the Torch Run has been completed and the "Flame of Hope" lights the Special Olympics caldron during Opening Ceremonies.
Funds are raised through a variety of activities, such as; Tip-A-Cops®, Golf Tournaments, Truck Convoys and T-shirt Sales. Last year, $140,000 was raised as a result of these dedicated law enforcement personnel.
