COMUNICADO DE PRENSA

DETALLES: The Oxnard Police Department will be participating in the annual Southern California Law Enforcement Torch “Flame of Hope” Run in support of Ventura County Special Olympics. Oxnard Police along with community members will be gathering at the U.S. 101 footbridge at Ventura Road and Wagon Wheel Road, where Ventura PD will hand the torch for its run through Oxnard.

Runners will proceed southbound on Ventura Road, go east on Vineyard Ave, south on H Street, to Gonzalez Road, down south on C street. Every year, the group passes along the Oxnard Police Department where they are rallied in front of the police station. Runners then proceed through the City of Oxnard where they hand off the torch to Port Hueneme Police at Ventura Road and Channel Islands Blvd.

Oxnard Police has been supporting this annual event for over 20 año. For one of our officers, Officer Ron Zavala this will be his last year coordinating this event since he will be retiring. He has helped coordinate it for the past 10 año. What makes this event more special for many at our agency is that Officer Zavala has pushed his own daughter in her wheelchair at the front to lead the group year after year on this run – as she carries the torch. We encourage members of the public to come out and support the participants as the Flame of Hope makes its way through Oxnard.

Aside from a run this is also a fundraiser, with all proceeds going to support Special Olympics Ventura County athletes. The public is welcome to join law enforcement on this run, with a $25 donation which includes an official Law Enforcement Torch Run t-shirt.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is an international fundraising and public awareness campaign for the Special Olympics. For over twenty years, Oxnard Police and Ventura County law enforcement agencies have been raising tens of thousands of dollars annually to benefit Special Olympics of Ventura County. These monies help Ventura County Special Olympics to offer free, year round, sports training and competition to over 700 individuals with intellectual disabilities ages eight years and up, who participate in seventeen sports at forty-five training sites throughout Ventura County.

For additional information on the Law Enforcement Torch Run, or the Special Olympics organization, please refer to the contact Officer Ron Zavala at ronald.zavala@oxnardpd.org o 805-857-4657. You can also visit the Special Olympics of Southern California website at www.sosc.org.
