EMPHASIS: Troop G Fundraiser For Special Olympics Missouri


Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop G employees will be selling “Torch Run” T-shirts and caps to raise money to support Special Olympics Missouri. These employees are volunteering their time for this worthy cause. The T-shirts and caps will be on sale at the West Plains Wal-Mart Supercenter on Saturday, May 11, from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., with all proceeds going to benefit Special Olympics athletes from Howell County.

Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with mental retardation or closely related developmental disabilities. The culmination of the fund-raising efforts comes each year when law enforcement officers carry the “Flame of Hope” torch across the state to its final destination, the Special Olympics Summer Games in Springfield, Missouri.
