Why I Plunge

Hi everyone! March 1, 2026 will be my 8th year participating in the Chicago Polar Plunge® for Special Olympics Illinois presented by Special Children's Charities. This year I will be plunging with the Kidd's Krue Team! 

I am excited to take on the challenge and jump into Lake Michigan's chilly waters to support thousands of individuals with intellectual disabilities. With your support, people with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to discover new strengths, abilities, and accomplishments.

There are three easy ways to support my plunging efforts:

  1. Donate to my fundraising page!

  2. Join my team and take the plunge with me at North Avenue Beach on March 1, 2026.

  3. Help me spread the word! Share my fundraising page with your friends and family.

Please help me raise funds for this great cause by donating today!
