My personal message:

I am excited to announce the Shawnee Police Department has "kicked off" its 2009 Torch Run campaign for Special Olympics.

I believe my "call" to raise funds in support of Special Olympics is one of the most significant aspects of my law enforcement career.  Special Olympics does not receive funds from the government and is not a United Way agency, rather it is supported solely by corporations and individuals such as yourself.  Law Enforcement, across the country and around the world, lead the fundraising effort for Special Olympics through the Torch Run which started in 1981 in Wichita, KS (thus the Kansas motto, "First to Carry the Torch!")

As the coordinator for our police department, I am proud of the fact that the Shawnee PD raised over $10,000 in 2008, the second most funds raised by any police department in Kansas last year.  With your help, the Shawnee Police Department hopes to increase its fundraising in 2009!

In case you were wondering, funds raised for Special Olympics-Kansas in 2008 provided: 4,854 atheletes an opportunity to compete in 22 sports during 70 competitions during which 23,101 medals and ribbons were awarded with 30,422 meals beings served to the athletes.

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
