Terry King, KVIL radio personality, will be the emcee.  King truly understands the movement of Special Olympics Texas because his own daughter is an athlete.  Each year Special Olympics Texas presents the "Our Heroes" award and the prestigious "Flame of Hope" award to companies or individuals who dedicate countless hours of their time to the organization and athletes.  The 2008 "Our Heroes" award recipient will be the City of Richardson and the "Flame of Hope" recipient will be Darrell Fant, former chief of police with Highland Park DPS.
