Earlier today, officers from the Madawaska Police Department proudly carried the Flame of Hope through town for the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run, benefiting Special Olympics Maine!
We were honored to have a Ranger from the Maine Forest Service lace up their sneakers and run alongside us this year. Protecting and serving goes hand-in-hand with supporting our incredible community, and this event is always a highlight for our department.
As we arrived in town, we were joined by our wonderful friends from St. John Valley Associates. They walked with us all the way to the finish line, bringing the absolute best energy, smiles, and team spirit to the final stretch. Thank you to everyone who cheered us on along the route.
After working up a massive appetite, our team was treated to a fantastic lunch courtesy of Ruby at Ruby's Red Cuisine! Thank you, Ruby, for fueling our officers and always being such a generous supporter of our department and community events!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that thanks to the immense generosity of our local businesses, we raised over $2,200 to support the amazing athletes of Special Olympics Maine! We truly live in a community that steps up when it matters most, and we cannot thank our local business sponsors enough for making this donation possible.
Together, we are helping to support inclusion, acceptance, and the amazing athletes of the Special Olympics!
