About the Law Enforcement Torch run

The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) is an international movement comprised of more than 110,000 law enforcement personnel who choose Special Olympics as their charity of choice. Members of the LETR raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics at events throughout the year — including Tip-A-Cop^® fundraisers, Polar Plunge^® events, special local fundraisers and the iconic Torch Run itself — building lifelong friendships with athletes along the way.

As the largest grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics, the LETR has raised more than $1 billion globally, and more than $23 million in Northern California, since its inception in 1997.
