One, two, three strikes, and this Gator was out.

It ended up wandering into the Condron Ballpark but wasn’t on the roster to play.

After being safely secured, he got some photos with his team, and patrons learned about alligator safety. Shortly after, he was relocated to a better spot on campus where he can continue to enjoy his life as a Florida Gator. @gatorsbb

This morning UFPD Officers took of running, but instead of chasing bad guys they ran for a very special cause. The 40th Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Florida was held this morning starting in Butler Plaza West and ending in Celebration Pointe.

This years torch run takes place from March 27- May 19 passing through all 67 counties and will include personnel from over 300 different law enforcement agencies.

As Guardians of the Flame, we run to help build a world where people with intellectual disabilities are included and excepted. We run to ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. We run to empower Special Olympics Florida athletes – helping them transform themselves, their communities and the world.
