Special Olympics Southern California’s (SOSC) vision is to promote acceptance, inclusion, and well-being for people with intellectual disabilities through sports. Through the power of sports, our athletes discover new strengths and abilities, skills, and success - on the playing field and in life. Law enforcement are huge supporters of SOSC and raise over 1 million dollars each year through events like Tip-a-Cop, Dunkin’ Cop on a Rooftop, Plane Pull, Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) Final Leg, and more. These fundraisers happen across the chapter, often multiple activities on the same date, in order to maximize our presence in the community. Fundraising Field Organizers help run these activities - Put your enthusiasm and organizational skills towards a great cause and join a team today!
