Saturday 6/11 and Sunday 6/12 from 9 am to 5 pm at the College of New Jersey located at 2000 Pennington Road, Ewing, NJ
This coming weekend Special Olympics NJ will host its Summer Games. As in the past the Italian American Police Society of New Jersey will participate with law enforcement from throughout New Jersey to enhance the lives of our state’s Special Athletes. I am proud to again present a check for $22,000 to our own Chief Bob Belfiore of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics along with our Executive Board Members. This is the result of a year’s worth of dedication and hard work to raise these funds.
After this presentation our organization will participate in the Opening ceremonies where thousands of Special Athletes from all 21 counties will march out onto the field at The College of New Jersey and light the flame for the games.
On Saturday and Sunday our members will present medals and encourage these athletes as we keep them safe at the various games taking place. I invite our law enforcement members to attend in uniform and help take part in this impressive event. Please contact me at president@iapsnj.org if you can join us. Shop Rite graciously feeds all of the athletes, families, coaches and law enforcement officers throughout the weekend. These athletes and their families are a great inspiration to us all!
