Special Olympics receive $1.6 million from JCF

Special Olympic Jamaica has received $1.6 million from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) to prepare for the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games, which will be held in Athens, Greece.



The contribution, which was raised through the JCF’s bi-annually Law Enforcement Torch Run, represents an increase of $600,000 over the amount received two years ago ahead of the Games in Shanghai, China.



The Law Enforcement Torch Run started in February of last year and ended in December. It was taken through 14 parishes and 19 police geographical divisions.
