Truck Convoy
What We Do
An army of truckers and law enforcement officers will escort the Truck Convoy through Hastings, NE on September 20 - 21, 2024 to help raise money and awareness for Special Olympics. This year celebrates the 21st anniversary of the Truck Convoy in Nebraska! All funds raised from the event will benefit Special Olympics Nebraska Athletes.
To be part of the Truck Convoy, truckers or trucking companies much register and pay a $100 entry fee per truck. Registration forms can be turned in at the event or sent to the Special Olympics Nebraska office in advance. Each registrant will receive a Truck Convoy goody bag and are encouraged to take part in all the activities associated with the Truck Convoy.
The Truck Convoy is more than just a convoy, though, it’s a great way for truckers and the trucking industry to be involved in the community, send a positive message about the trucking industry and interact with Special Olympics Athletes of Nebraska. While the Truck Convoy takes place on the 21st, there are many events planned around the weekend of the Truck Convoy. On the 20th there will be a picnic, outdoor games, a raffle and entertainment at the Adams County Fairgrounds for all the Truck Convoy participants, and athletes. Then following the Truck Convoy on the 21st there will be a cookout for lunch, an auction and an awards ceremony also at Adams County Fairgrounds. Awards will be given to drivers in the categories of: Lead Truck, Largest Fleet, Farthest Distance Traveled and Athlete’s Choice. Often, participants find the events before and after the Truck Convoy to be the most fun and rewarding aspects of the event.
