The Flame of Hope
About LETR
The Torch Run™ is the most well-known event that the LETR hosts. During this event, officers run the Flame of Hope™ into the Opening Ceremony of local, regional, national and international competitions. Since the launch of this tradition in Canada, there have been a wide range of initiatives established at the national, regional and local levels, led by the LETR. In Alberta, the LETR holds a number of fundraising and awareness campaigns throughout the year. These campaigns and events collectively raise more than $100,000 annually, and are critical to providing quality opportunities to Special Olympics Athletes across the province.
