Law Enforcement Torch Run Resources

Thank you to the more than 3,000 officers from around Virginia who ran the Flame of Hope into this year's Summer Games Opening Ceremony. Although the actual Torch Run is behind us for 2009, many other Torch Run activities and fundraisers are still set to take place throughout the state, so please check out the below opportunities.

We are in the process of redesigning the Virginia Law Enforcement Torch Run Web site, which is set to launch this winter. Until the new site is live, we will post certain Torch Run resources here. For additional information or questions, please e-mail Debbie Apperson, Director of Development, or call her at 757.962.1575 or 877.974.7462.
