The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is an international
movement that raises over $30 US million each year for Special
Olympics in countries around the world. Law enforcement personnel
raise funds by participating in Torch Runs and other innovative
fundraising events.
British Columbia’s Law Enforcement Torch Run is one
of the most successful and creative Torch Run programs in Canada,
with law enforcement personnel raising funds and
awareness through events. Since 1990, the BC LETR has raised over
$2 million for Special Olympics BC. Click here to

Law Enforcement Torch Run members hold
many fundraising events throughout the year to support
Special Olympics BC, including
Free the Fuzz roof sits, the
Lower Mainland Final Leg, community runs, car washes,
barbecues, T-shirt sales and a variety of other community events.
You can buy your Torch Run T-shirt on the merchandise
