Delaware Law Enforcement for Special Olympics


One of the organization's largest grass-roots volunteer movements involves hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers throughout the world volunteering their time to raise awareness and money for Special Olympics. Here in Delaware, every agency is represented in law enforcement's year-round effort.

Police officers' volunteer efforts include organizing fundraising events, soliciting advertisements for the SODE Yearbook, and having a presence at all awards ceremonies, regardless of the size of the event.

The signature event for Delaware LESO is the annual Torch Run, when over 500 police officers carry the Flame of Hope 16o miles over three days across the state, leading up to the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Games when the Torch Runner of the Year and the Athlete of the Year light the cauldron signifying the opening of the games.
