South Windsor Haunted Torch Walk Set for Saturday to Benefit Special Olympics

From Agent Ron Littell:

On October 18, 2014 (Rain Date: Oct. 25, 2014) the South Windsor Police Department, in collaboration with the Town of South Windsor Youth and Family Services and Recreation Departments, will be hosting a Haunted Torch Walk as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Connecticut.

We will be “haunting” Nevers Road Park in a spooky event which will include guided “Torch Tours” through the paths of the park. The event is kicking off at 6:00 PM. The last tour will leave for the trails at approximately 9:30 PM. The event will include a hayride and refreshments will be served after the tour has finished.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the second largest grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics nation wide (LETR in Connecticut raises $500,000 annually). Special Olympics Connecticut offers 27 Olympic-type sports and 75+ competitions annually and provides year round sports training and competition for 13,000 athletes and partners (people without disabilities who train and compete with our athletes) throughout the state. In 2013 the South Windsor Police Department was the #1 fund raising agency in Connecticut. Our goal for this event is $10,000.00. With your help that goal is achievable
