Prison places third in virtual Law Enforcement Torch Run

By Lt. H. Mora

This year Ironwood State Prison employees went the extra mile to accept the Southern California Branch of Special Olympics’ challenge to participate in the 2020 Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run.

Team Ironwood proudly placed third out of the top 10 teams within Riverside County, raising $1,085.

Ironwood employees’ generosity and thoughtfulness during this pandemic is especially important to the children this money will assist.

Employees had an option to register to be a supporter and run on their own or safely with family and friends on Saturday, Aug. 29, or sponsor an athlete if they were unable to run on that date.

This money will continue to provide important critical health and wellness programming for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
