The Delaware Memorial Bridge Run to Acceptance for Special Olympics will take place on Sunday, Oct 1, and is open to a select group of participants, including active and retired members of law enforcement regardless of where they reside.

The 5k run begins at 7 a.m. in New Jersey and will finish on the Delaware side. The event is limited to active and retired first responders ages 18 and older including law enforcement, fire, EMS, and military personnel. The entry fee is $100 with a tiered fundraising opportunity.

“Our officers have seen firsthand the value and joy that the Special Olympics program brings to the community during our Torch Run celebrations, medal ceremonies, and our officers’ hands-on opportunities to coach the Special Olympics athletes,” said Greg Nolt, State Director of Delaware Law Enforcement for Special Olympics.

The Chairman's Corner - October 2018

Another successful LETR International Conference has come and gone.

Thanks to the hard work by SO Tennessee, LETR Tennessee and the International Conference Planning Committee, the conference was an amazing success. 1200 attendees (the largest ever) came together to listen, learn and share about ways to improve the lives of our athletes.

We recognised the efforts of high achieving individuals and programs with four inductees to the LETR Richard LaMunyon Hall of Fame (Ward Webb, Francis Williams, Robert Woolsey and the first ever Honorary award to retired Chief Joe Casey from Tennessee); three John Carion Unsung Hero Award winners (Eric Abt, Rex Caldwell and Elwood Johnson) and two outstanding recipients of the Council Athlete Award (Kevin Brown and Fred Siegel).

We celebrated another record year - raising $56,641,000 in 2016. This would would not be possible without the dedication of our law enforcement volunteers.

Looking forward to Las Vegas in 2018.
