    The Wake County Sheriff’s Office is raising money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics North Carolina.
    “Our goal is to help the 40,000 Special Olympics athletes across the state empower and transform themselves, their communities, and the world,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release. “The Wake County Sheriff’s Office is hosting a fundraising drive with some of North Carolina’s most exciting exotic and sports cars. So far, WCSO has raised $12,500, exceeding our original $10,000 goal for this event.”

    The participating drivers will leave from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and make their way to downtown Raleigh for a pit stop outside the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.

    “The Wake County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend its gratitude to everyone who has donated,” the press release stated. “The proceeds will go to Special Olympics North Carolina.”

    The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is the largest year-round public awareness and grass-roots fundraising campaign for Special Olympics. Known as Guardians of the Flame, law enforcement members and Special Olympics athletes carry the Flame of Hope into the Opening Ceremony of local competitions, and into Special Olympics State, National, Regional and World Games.

    Annually, more than 110,000 law enforcement members carry the “Flame of Hope,” symbolizing courage and the celebration of diversity, uniting communities around the globe.

    Here in North Carolina, nearly 2,000 law enforcement personnel support the NC LETR annually.
