Kentucky Law Enforcement Torch Run

10/01/2026

Our first annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Kentucky Car Show, held in Brandenburg this past Saturday, was a great success!

A tremendous thank you to all of our sponsors, vendors, and everyone who brought their vehicles out to show off. A huge thank you to the Brandenburg Police Department, Meade County Sheriff’s Office, Lebanon Junction Police Department, Muldraugh Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriffs Office and the Bullitt County Sheriffs Office, for bringing their cruisers out to the car show and contributing to the success of the car show. Congratulations to the Lebanon Junction Police Department for winning the best Law Enforcement Cruiser award and raising the most money.

We had a great turnout and raised just under $3500 for our Special Olympics athletes of Kentucky. A huge thank you to Renee Chandler for heading up the planning and coordination of this event. Without her, it would not have been possible. Planning for next year‘s car show is already underway!

It’s a sad day across the Commonwealth as we mourn the loss of one of our Guardians of the Flame.

Trooper Hayden Phillips, Unit 369, made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty yesterday while protecting the people of Kentucky.

Our hearts break for his family, wife and children, his brothers and sisters in the Kentucky State Police, and his colleagues at Post 3. We stand with them in this tremendous loss.

Trooper Phillips’s service, courage, and commitment to the Commonwealth will never be forgotten.

It was an amazing morning at Lou City FC! The Louisville City FC Unified team did an outstanding job representing Kentucky.

What an incredible day!! Our Louisville City FC Unified team may not have come away with the win, but it was an amazing match and an even more amazing experience. Our thanks to LouCity FC and the LouCity & Racing Foundation for making this possible and, of course, to Special Olympics Nebraska’s Union Omaha Unified team for making the trip to be a part of SOKY history!
