Thoughts from Randy - Blog
The Mayor’s Invitation and Then Some
A couple weeks ago I received a telephone call from Albuquerque’s
Mayor R.J. Berry asking if I thought Special Olympics athletes would

Berry’s phone call led to a meeting with the Director of
Albuquerque’s Parks and Recreation Department. The results of that

Wells
Fargo returns as 2010 Law Enforcement Torch Run Presenting Sponsor
Special Olympics New Mexico (SONM) announces the return of Wells
Fargo as Presenting Sponsor of the 2010 New Mexico Law Enforcement
Torch Run (NM LETR).
On Wednesday, January 27th Wells Fargo presented SONM with a check
for $20,000 to help provide funding for local programs, uniforms and
sports equipment costs, as well as meals and transportation expenses
during state competitions. Wells Fargo started their relationship
with SONM 14 years ago with a $5,000 sponsorship.
“Since 1996, our relationship with Special Olympics New Mexico and
the Law Enforcement Torch Run has provided our employees a unique
opportunity to support and impact the lives of thousands of Special
Olympics athletes and their families around the state,” says Wells
Fargo Director of Community and Media Relations Jennifer Riordan.
