On Sunday, March 1, 2026 the Pinky Pals will participate in Polar Plunge® Chicago for Special Olympics Illinois.

We’re combing the strength of Illinois and Wisconsin with team members Liz, Diane, Erik, Emma, Charlie, Anna, and Macy.
Wise and warm Lisa will be our cheerleader and towel holder.

Call us crazy, call us cold, but please consider donating if able. Any amount will be much appreciated. We are fund raising through the team page only - not our individual pages.

All funds raised will benefit the Special Olympics athletes, covering program costs such as transportation, sports equipment, team uniforms, and food. 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.

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