The Rochelle Police Department is proud to support the Special Olympics Illinois through the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run. This meaningful event helps raise awareness and funding for athletes with intellectual disabilities, providing opportunities for training, competition, and inclusion across our communities.

You can support our fundraising efforts by purchasing a limited-edition Torch Run T-shirt beginning May 15, 2026 at our Dunkin event, available while supplies last through the Torch Run date. You can also come cheer on the runners as they carry the Flame of Hope through our community or make a monetary donation using the QR code or link below.

Every shirt purchased, every donation made, and every show of support helps make a difference. Thank you for standing with us and helping empower these incredible athletes.
