Staff, incarcerated join for CTF Flame of Hope Torch Walk
Correctional Training Facility (CTF) staff joined the incarcerated population to raise funds with a Flame of Hope Torch Walk.
The May 4 CTF Torch Walk also offers a positive outlet for the incarcerated population to give back to the community, bringing awareness to children and adults with special needs. Hosted by the CTF Facility B Veterans Yard, the walk also included a moment of silence, the National Anthem, presentation of colors by the incarcerated B Yard Honor Guard, and guest speakers.
Since 2018, CTF has supported fundraising efforts to benefit Special Olympics of Northern California (SONC).
Additionally, athletes from the Special Olympics, along with participants from the incarcerated population, took part in friendly event competitions such as Bat Spin, Free-Throw Basketball Shots, Putting and Bag-O-Toss.
After the competitions, Correctional Counselor S. Dunaven and acting Warden L.A. Martinez presented SONC with a check for $66,604.63.
