The Dalton Police Department's fundraising effort for the 2009 Law Enforcement Torch Run just got a big shot in the arm on from the Shugart Road Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart donated $1,000 to the department on Wednesday morning.
Each year, the Law Enforcement Torch Run is the largest fundraiser for the Special Olympics in Georgia. This year, law enforcement agencies across Georgia hope to raise more than $800,000 which will account for more than a third of the Special Olympics Georgia budget.
Wal-Mart was also a major supporter of the Dalton Police Department's Torch Run efforts in 2008, and the department thanks them for their continued generosity. If you'd like to help the department raise money, you can make a donation online, or you can come by the Police Services Center at 301 Jones Street to purchase Law Enforcement Torch Run t-shirts, hats, and can koozies.
