Another new year and another year where a group of Ironworkers Local #63 members will be plunging into frigid Lake Michigan in March. We are incredibly proud to the the team with the best swag as we have been every year. This event helps to fund the Special Olympics, which has its roots deep in Chicago as well as the Labor Community.
On Sunday, March 1, 2026 our team will participate in Polar Plunge® Chicago for Special Olympics Illinois presented by Special Children's Charities, one of the city's most popular winter fundraising events! We are excited to take on the challenge and jump into Lake Michigan's chilly waters to support thousands of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Through your donations, people with intellectual disabilities can discover new strengths, abilities, and accomplishments.
