The Law Enforcement Torch Run is an innovative initiative powered by dedicated law enforcement personnel around the world who want to help Special Olympics athletes experience acceptance, achievement and admiration through sport.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run has raised more than $3 million in British Columbia since 1990. To date, the LETR has raised more than $600 million for Special Olympics programs around the world. In B.C., the LETR has helped increase the athlete base to more than 4,800 registered athletes in 55 communities around the province.
Penticton has provided programs in the community for many years, currently offering 5-pin and 10-pin bowling, basketball, bocce, swimming, curling, golf, powerlifting, snowshoeing and softball.
