The City of Milton's Public Safety Department is raising money and awareness for this year's Special Olympics Georgia. For the first time, the department is selling T-shirts, caps and koozies from which all proceeds will go to the Special Olympics. The department also has hopes of participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run, the largest annual fundraising event benefiting Special Olympics. Each public safety official interested in running must raise $100 for the event.
The Torch Run culminates at the State Summer Games as officers enter the Opening Ceremony with the Olympic Torch - the Flame of Hope. The Torch is passed to a Special Olympics athlete who lights the Olympic cauldron signifying "Let the games begin!"
To donate money or to buy a T-shirt, cap or koozie, visit Milton City Hall at 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton, GA 30004.
