"Known as Guardians of the Flame, law enforcement members and Special Olympics athletes carry the “Flame of Hope” into Opening Ceremonies of local competitions. They also carry it into Special Olympics State, Provincial, National, Regional and World Games. There are over 97,000 law enforcement members that carry the “Flame of Hope” annually. The flame symbolizes courage and celebration of diversity uniting communities around the globe.
Torch Run has grown over the years and now includes many fundraising platforms. These platforms include: Plane Pulls, Polar Plunges, Tip-A-Cops, and more. Since the beginning, LETR has raised over $600 million for Special Olympics programs.
As retired Chief Richard LaMunyon once said, “What started in 1981…as a flicker of hope for Special Olympics has now become a roaring flame of stability for Special Olympics athletes worldwide.” LETR is changing the future for people with intellectual disabilities. Through the LETR and Special Olympics partnership we are lighting the way for acceptance and inclusion."

March 14th 2018 by Dee Loflin
4-H Southeast Regional Energizer – Show your heart
“4-H shows you lots of different worlds and because of 4-H I was inspired for my career,” tells Pastor Tony Kobak, feature speaker for the 2018 4-H Southeast Regional Energizer held at Advance Elementary School in Advance, Missouri on Saturday, February 17.
Nearly 100 4-H youth and 30 4-H volunteers from 8 counties in the Southeast Region attended the event. The focus of the day was the second H – Heart of the 4-H pledge. The second H is heart to greater loyalty.
Pastor Kobak challenged the youth to show that their heart is in their work and in their lives. Throughout the day youth attended workshops focused on skills of the heart such as communication, cooperation, concern for others, teamwork, caring, community service, and learning about self. Adult workshops focused on answering questions about being a 4-H leader and club development. The day ended with a dance and opportunities for the youth to learn microwave cooking and using virtual reality goggles.
Missouri 4-H is a community of nearly 230,000 youth ages 5-18 from all lifestyles - rural farming communities, suburban schoolyards, and urban neighborhoods. 4-H youth learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills, guided by over 9,100 caring adult volunteers statewide.
University of Missouri Extension 4-H is the youth development program of the nation’s Cooperative Extension system.
