For Brenda Langstraat Bui

Our Story

On Sunday, March 1, 2026 I will participate in Polar Plunge® in honor of my wife Brenda Langstraat Bui who was a true champion for the City of Chicago!  Polar Plunge® Chicago raises money for Special Olympics Illinois presented by Special Children's Charities, one of the city's most popular winter fundraising events! This is my 10th yr plunging and 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 our plunging efforts:

  1. Donate to our team fundraising page!
  2. Join our team and take the plunge with us at North Avenue Beach on March 1, 2026.
  3. Help us spread the word! Share my fundraising page with your friends and family.

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