LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN
Fueling Dreams at Circle K and Irving will return for its 17th Year!
Circle K and Irving Oil will once again team up with Special Olympics state programs throughout New England to raise money for Special Olympics. SONH is excited to continue our strong relationship with Circle K and Irving. Beginning August 1st, all Circle K locations and participating Irving locations will sell Special Olympics New Hampshire window clings for $1 to benefit SONH. Can't wait until then to make a donation? Visit your local Circle K/Irving store today and make a donation in the
red canister that can be found at every register of a Circle K/Irving store!
In 2015, the Special Olympics Promotion raised over $246,000 in New Hampshire through cling sales, Fueling Dreams Day and a donation from Irving Oil! Since the partnership started in 1999, Fueling Dreams has raised over $1.6 million for Special Olympics New Hampshire.
On Saturday, August 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Special Olympics New Hampshire local programs and athletes will partner with members of law enforcement to pump gas and wash car windows for the annual Fueling Dreams Day.
If you or your local program or law enforcement agency is interested in taking part in Fueling Dreams Day, please contact Director of Development, Chelsea Gill at 624-1250 ext. 42 or
[email protected].
Special Olympics New Hampshire would like to thank Circle K and Irving for their ongoing commitment and support!
