Union City PBA Local 8 was proud to participate in the 43rd Anniversary of the New Jersey Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics – Hudson County Area 1.

This inspiring tradition continues to bring communities together across New Jersey, with more than 3,000 law enforcement officers carrying the Flame of Hope through towns and cities statewide to raise awareness and support for the extraordinary athletes of Special Olympics New Jersey.

As the torch made its way through Union City, our officers were honored to once again be joined by the enthusiastic 8th-grade students of Roosevelt, Edison, and Gilmore Union City Schools. This longstanding partnership reflects the values of unity, encouragement, and community spirit that make this event so meaningful. Their energy and dedication helped make the day even more memorable.

We run not only for the cause, but alongside it, standing with the athletes, their families, coaches, and volunteers who make the New Jersey Olympics such a powerful and life-changing movement.

Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer, support, and participate. Together, we continue to promote inclusion, celebrate determination, and carry the Flame of Hope forward for future generations.
