On June 3-4, Law Enforcement officers, staff, family and friends took part in the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics in Price County. On Wednesday, The Torch Run participants rode bicycle 18 miles from Park Falls to Phillips. The Lanes Pub and Eatery donated refreshments and food to the riders. On Thursday the Torch Run Parade kicked off at noon with all Special Olympians and friends marching downtown Phillips, ending at Copps Food Center where there was a reception with food and refreshments donated by Copps.
The Torch Run raises funds by selling Torch Run shirts and receiving general donations from businesses and local organizations. The money is used for local Special Olympic athletes participating in the games and other activities. If interested in ordering shirts, or making a donation, call Ltn. Dan Greenwood or Deputy Laurie Zondlo at the Price County Sheriff's Department for further details.
