The Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is such a huge piece of our Summer Games. It means so much to have a piece of that run happening in Region K, and especially at Touch of Nature Outdoor Education Center! Summer Games, we are coming for you and we are READY! If you haven't ever seen an opening ceremony, and the torch coming into the stadium, it's truly something special. Join us this weekend in Bloomington to cheer on our athletes all weekend long!
