Torch Run Kick-Off Ceremony, May 23 in downtown Richmond

What started as a flicker 32 years ago has grown into a roaring flame of support and stability for Special Olympics athletes worldwide. Join us as we officially light the “Flame of Hope” at the Torch Run Kick-Off Ceremony, May 23 at noon at the SunTrust Center in downtown Richmond. We’ll also celebrate the fundraising efforts of the more than 2,000 officers involved in the Torch Run.

 

Then, beginning June 1 in Bristol, officers from across the Commonwealth will run the Flame more than 1,900 miles, from every corner of the state, as they prepare to officially open Summer Games, June 7-8 in Richmond. To see if they're running near you, visit our Routes page; to be part of Summer Games, visit www.volunteer2cheer.com.
