We did it again! Torch Run 2024 for the Special Olympics! ✔️
Special Olympics Oregon Friends

Thanks to all who ran, transported runners, kept the roads safe for runners, did traffic control, were in charge of logistics, hosted barbecues, cheered on the torch run... or somehow contributed to the success of their local torch run for Special Olympics Oregon .

Law enforcement personnel from around the state spent the weekend at Oregon State University supporting the athletes of Special Olympics Oregon at the Summer State Games. Law enforcement handed out medals, engaged with athletes, cheered them on at the ceremony, made sure the Flame of Hope safely made it to the ceremony and attended the dance. Some even served as coaches.
We had representatives from various agencies including but not limited to.
Portland Police Association , Port of Portland, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, City of Stayton - Government , City of Corvallis Police Department , Eagle Point Police Department, Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, Yamhill County Community Corrections, and OSU Police.

PLAY UNIFIED VANCOUVER

I am honored to be a Special Olympics coach and yesterday the Vancouver Public Schools closed out their 2024 Special Olympics Unified Soccer season. Unified Sports brings students with and without intellectual disabilities together on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship and understanding.

The afternoon was wrapped up with a meet and greet from local First Responders who cheered them on. Kindness 911 was joined by Vancouver Police, Vancouver Fire and AMR. The athletes, partners and families had a blast!

Keep impacting your community one kind act at a time!

Thank you Oregon State Police!

We’ll be here until 9 pm with Eugene Police Department, Springfield Police Department - Oregon, Lane County Sheriff's Office and University of Oregon Police Department for supporting Special Olympics Oregon - Eugene/Springfield!

Besides running the torch safely to ceremonies, handing out medals to athletes at competitions, fundraising, jumping in cold water, LETR personnel also volunteer hours as SOOR coaches and referees.
