PLUNGING again this year in the Polar Plunge® Chicago for Special Olympics Illinois

I started when my daughter Aiyana encouraged me to join her team. Thirteen years later, I am still at it. This year I am joined by former student and candidate for the IL 5th Congressional district, Anthony Tamez. Last time he joined me in the plunge was during his freshmen year at Von Steuben. It's a reunion of sorts!

Please support out efforts. 

Easy ways to support our plunge:

  1. Donate to my fundraising page!

  2. Join our team and take the plunge with us. 

  3. Share my fundraising page with your friends and family.

Join us for our campaign banner waving event over the North Avenue bridge.

  • Arrival 9:30 AM

  • Plunge time 10:15 AM

  • Banner event 11 AM

  • Donuts and cafe at our house at 1 PM. Meet the candidate. 

Thanks for your support.
