Cascade Champions Together

05/30/2026

On May 29th, the Flame of Hope begins its cross-country journey to Minnesota. 🔥

The Law Enforcement Torch Run kickoff marks the official start of the road to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games, uniting law enforcement officers, athletes, and communities in support of inclusion across the country.

As the torch makes its way toward Minnesota, every step carries something bigger than a flame. It carries belief, support, and excitement for the athletes who will take the stage in 2026.

Follow the journey. Cheer on the movement. Help us carry the flame forward. 🔥

We truly don’t have enough words to say thank you to Amy Phipps Photography for the incredible gift she gave our athletes, families, and program. 👏

Amy donated her entire evening: her time, her talent, and her heart, to capture moments that go far beyond photos. She captured joy, determination, teamwork, and pure spirit… the kind of moments that deserve to be remembered forever. 💚

Because of her generosity, our families and students now have access to a full album of these amazing memories:📸 https://amyphippsphotography.pixieset.com/championstogether/

Please take a moment to look through, download, and celebrate these athletes the way they deserve. And if you see Amy, make sure you thank her because what she gave us was more than pictures… it was a way to hold onto something really special.

It’s not just about how far you jump...
it’s about having the courage to try! 💚

Inspiration: when one moment, one effort, or one person makes others believe they can too. 💚

You haven’t lived until you’ve cheered this loud for a race.

Every step, every finish line... worth it. 👏

We can talk about inclusion all day...
but this is it right here.

The smiles, the energy, the way every athlete mattered.
That's the goal. Every time. 💚
