Last year the Connecticut Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year the Danbury Police Department hopes to make up for that loss and raise even more for Special Olympics Connecticut. Danbury Police are calling on residents and businesses to help out through the “Adopt a Mile Fundraiser.” Contributions will help provide year round athletic training and competition for over 13,000 Special Olympic Connecticut athletes and unified partners throughout the state. The Torch Run begins on June 16th, passes through Danbury on June 18th, and finish later that evening. The three-day run will cover over 530 miles through 100 Connecticut cities and towns.
