EPD To Participate in Special Olympics Torch Run

From the Evanston Police Department:

The Evanston Police Department invites you and your families to run or ride your bikes to raise money for the Illinois Special Olympics.

The 2 mile run will begin at the Dominick’s at 2748 Green Bay Road at 10:00 a.m., when Wilmette police officers will pass the torch to Evanston police officers. We will run it through downtown Evanston and will end at the Evanston Police Department with a celebration lunch.

The entry fee is a minimum $20.00 donation to the Illinois Special Olympics. For your donation, you will receive a 2011 Torch Run t-shirt or hat. T-shirts, hats and pins will be available for purchase to support our athletes.

For more information, contact Officers Bernhardt or Carmichael at the Evanston Police Department (847)866-5000.
