LETR Campaign for Special Olympics Washington

All around the world, Special Olympics has a formidable and caring legion of protectors and supporters: the law enforcement community.

The LETR Campaign began in Washington State in 1982. In addition to the thousands of miles law enforcement personnel has traveled with the "Flame of Hope" to the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Games; hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised each year for local Special Olympics athletes.

Over 2,000 individuals including, chiefs, sheriffs, officers, sheriffs, deputies, agents and other law enforcement personnel from virtually every branch of federal, state, county and municipal law enforcement, represent over 80 different agencies.

Funds are generated through the sale of the popular LETR Campaign T-shirts and through various annual activities such as: Tip-A-Cops, Roof Sits, golf tournaments, raffles, t-shirt sales and many more activities. Individuals and agencies are recognized for their outstanding fundraising efforts and dedication with induction to the "Circle of Honor."

Supporters of the LETR Campaign include: Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC), Washington State Patrol Troopers Association (WSPTA) and Washington State Law Enforcement Association.
