CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS:
Help us at the Summer Games
Please help us by volunteering at our upcoming Summer Games!
Special Olympics would not exist today - and could not have been created - without the time, energy, commitment and enthusiasm of people just like you, thousands of individuals who choose to take a little time from busy schedules to make the world a better place.
Please click on an event below to get started.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Emily Groth at [email protected] or (603) 624-1250 x44.

LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN
2016 marks the 32nd year of partnership between Law Enforcement and SONH! The Law Enforcement Torch Run will kick off the week of May 16th when the "Flame of Hope" will begin its journey over 800 miles in various legs throughout New Hampshire,
serving as the movement's largest grass roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle.
Torch Run participants consisting of every branch of state, municipal, county and federal Law Enforcement and friends of Special Olympics will carry the "Flame of Hope" in one of over twenty torch run legs leading up to the 2016 State Summer Games held at the University of New Hampshire on June 3rd - 4th.
The "Flame of Hope" will visit our state capital on June 2nd for the State House Celebration at 2:00 pm to honor the SONH athletes participating in Summer Games and serve as the final resting spot before the torch makes its final journey to the State Summer Games. The Final Leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run covers a span of 33 miles from Concord to Durham. The run will kick off at the State House in Concord in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, June 3rd and culminate at the State Summer Games at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
A special thank you to our 2016 Law Enforcement Torch Run sponsors: Circle-K, Irving, Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England, Law Enforcement for Special Olympics and New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police.
