It was fantastic getting back onto North Avenue Beach in 2022. Can't wait to build on this in 2023!

I am incredibly proud of how hard Special Olympics Chicago worked throughout the pandemic in order to continue to provide services to the athletes. The least we could do was find innovative ways to continue plunging!

We have been fans of cold-water therapy before it was a thing! The feeling of giving back and making a difference are truly therapeutic!

Jackson has a fantastic track record in supporting Special Olympics Chicago through the Plunge. We had an incredible turnout in 2020. Who knew how different the world would be just a week later.

On Sunday, March 5, 2023 I will be participating in the 2023 Chicago Polar Plunge, celebrating more than 20 years of plunging!  I am excited to take on the challenge of the Chicago Polar Plunge and jump in to Lake Michigan’s chilly waters to support thousands of athletes that participate in Special Olympics Chicago/Special Children’s Charities programs. 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. Make a donation to my fundraising page!

  2. Join my team and take the plunge with me at North Ave Beach on March 5, 2023

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

Join me and make the #PolarPromise as I raise funds for the Chicago Polar Plunge presented by Jackson today.
