Our Executive Director Tom Schell is helping launch the Flame of Hope in Chicago today!

On May 29th, the Flame of Hope begins its cross-country journey to Minnesota. 🔥

The Law Enforcement Torch Run kickoff marks the official start of the road to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, uniting law enforcement officers, athletes, and communities in support of inclusion across the country.

As the torch makes its way toward Minnesota, every step carries something bigger than a flame. It carries belief, support, and excitement for the athletes who will take the stage in 2026.

Follow the journey. Cheer on the movement. Help us carry the flame forward. 🔥
