Event Information
About the Event
The Bill Shumard Hall of Fame Awards represents the highest honor within the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) program. Named in tribute to Bill Shumard, who served as CEO of Special Olympics Southern California (SOSC) for 15 years and played a pivotal role in the success of the LETR program. These awards celebrate the outstanding dedication of law enforcement officers who have gone above and beyond in making a lasting difference in the lives of our athletes.
“SOSC/LETR is recognized as one of the world’s premier programs of its kind, and a great deal of credit goes to the tireless, selfless work of our law enforcement partners. Their vision, competitiveness, and empathy drive their desire for success for the ultimate benefit of our athletes. In my 50 years of leadership in sports, I am not aware of another partnership that produces so much good for so many.” ~ Bill Shumard
