A Message From Frank Matarese Jr.
I’m excited to share that Special Olympics Rhode Island athlete, Brian Johnson, will be joining me for the 6 hour portion of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Rhode Island 24 hour walk on October 21st.
Brian recently returned from the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023, where he won GOLD and SILVER medals in Bocce.
This past June, Brian and I carried the flame of hope into the opening ceremonies of the Summer Games at URI. We also met up at the opening ceremonies for the World Games in Berlin, Germany.
Please join my quest by making a donation to my page. Thank you for helping me to reach my goal!

In Support of Special Olympics RI
Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports, every day around the world. Through sports, health, education and community programming, Special Olympics is tackling inactivity, intolerance, isolation and injustice that people throughout the world face, especially people with intellectual disabilities.
Special Olympics Rhode Island is one of the state’s most dynamic programs, providing over 1,600 year-round sports training and athletic competition opportunities to more than 4,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics Rhode Island hosts over 40 statewide tournaments and competitions each year in 20 official and demonstration sports.
