On Friday June 8, members of the Evesham Police Department participated in the 2012 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics of New Jersey. This is a statewide campaign coordinated and managed by all divisions of Law Enforcement officers and officials from throughout the state.
Through their efforts, events are conducted year round by the law enforcement community to raise funds for the Special Olympics Movement, serving the athletes of New Jersey.
In addition to fundraising, law enforcement volunteers at athlete events year round while serving as ambassadors in local communities.
The run began at the Shop Rite store on Route 70 in Marlton. The Marlton Shop Rite has been a major sponsor for the event and has hosted the start of the run for many years.
