Special Olympics does not charge its athletes a fee to participate and also provides uniforms and equipment at no cost.
SUPPORT
Therefore, it is a constant challenge to stretch resources in order to provide everyone with a chance to benefit from
Special Olympics. Financial support comes from funds raised from individuals, organizations, corporations, foundations
and special events. The Lewes Polar Bear Plunge and Over the Edge are examples of fundraising events unique to
Special Olympics Delaware. Join Our Team

For 50 years,
Special Olympics has stood as a shining example of the belief
that everyone can be part of our community,
that our world will only be at its best when we include
the talents and energies of every single person. It reminds us that
any of us can accomplish great things, if only given the chance.
Support of the 2021 Torch Run
This spring, everyone - athletes,
coaches, families, friends, sponsors,
and fans - was invited to support the
Delaware Law Enforcement Torch Run.
Supporters were able to choose their
own date, time, and route for a virtual
run or walk leading up to the in-person
Torch Run on June 10.
If you participated and have any
photos or videos, please be sure to
share them on social media! Tag @
SODelaware and use the hashtags
#StrongerTogether #TorchRunDE
Thank you to all of the members of the
community who helped us celebrate the
partnership between law enforcement
and Special Olympics

Delaware’s Law Enforcement Torch Run is celebrating
its 35th anniversary in 2021!
Since 1987, Delaware Law Enforcement has hit the pavement in support of the athletes who train and
compete in Special Olympics. Through their signature event – the Torch Run – law enforcement has
opened the doors of understanding and acceptance while raising awareness and critical resources to
fuel Special Olympics’ growth and quality programming.
The 2021 Torch Run will look different this year, but the reason to run has not changed. At its most basic
level, the Torch Run is an actual running event that unites local, state, and federal agencies to carry the
Flame of Hope across our great state to the Opening Ceremony of Summer Games each June. The
2021 Torch Run flame symbolizes the courage and celebration of diversity which is at the heart of the Special Olympics
movement. Law enforcement who carry the torch have proudly become known as “Guardians of the

as well - thank you to Seaford PD,

carrying the torch through your towns!
In addition to the Torch Run, members of
law enforcement will be supporting the
2021 Summer Games by presenting the
medals at all awards ceremonies.
Thank you, Delaware Law Enforcement,
for 35 years of an incredible partnership!

Beginning in 2015, the award for Torch Runner of the Year was renamed the William “Winnie” Spence Torch Runner of the Year to recognize Winnie’s role as
2020-2021 LAW ENFORCEMENT “Keeper of the Flame” during the annual 160-mile Torch Run. It was originally Winnie’s idea to keep the torch lit for the entire journey, making Delaware’s Torch Run truly
FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS (LESO) unique. His memory lives on and his legacy will continue through this award as the Torch Run ensures the “Flame of Hope” burns brightly all 160 miles.

“I jumped at the chance,” Dixon said. “The first statewide volunteer coordinator that I can remember was Chip Simpson,” Dixon recalled.
Kent County Leg Coordinators: Danielle Martin, DSP; Gary Fournier, DSP; Tim Maloney, Milford PD “He inspired me to not only continue my solicitation efforts but reinforced the need and importance of volunteers during medal presentations
at Summer Games and other events.”

Dixon took over the volunteer coordinator role at a time when the organization was experiencing exponential growth, and along with that

Public Relations Chairperson: Wayne Kline, DNREC “I was nervous at first,” he admitted about taking on the challenging task. “The last thing that I wanted to happen was to not have any
volunteers show up for an event. I also knew there were a tremendous number of events and roles that needed to be filled by volunteers
Delaware Police Chiefs Council Liaison: Pat Ogden, UDPD and I did not want to wear out my welcome with officers by asking law enforcement repeatedly for their assistance. I learned who the go-to
people were who would always help out if possible and who I could count on to pinch-hit for an event.”
