the run/walk 5K at www.calverttorchrun.com You receive a Torch Run T-shirt when you
register for the 5K. However, if you
would like a hat or another T-shirt to support Special Olympics, please contact
Ms. Sherry Draheim at the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office (410-535-2800).
Several officers will be competing
to raise the most money by running in uniform and other forms of fun! Please start a team and see how much support
we can raise for Special Olympics!!!
