Spencer's 10th Polar Plunge

This Polar Plunge will be my 10th and will also mark the first time I'm doing it back in Lake Michigan since COVID began. I can't wait to run into the icy 34-degree waters of Lake Michigan with my friends at ComEd. I'm raising the bar in my fundraising for 2023 and have put forward a variety of incentives to get there. - Anyone who donates will get a link to a live stream of my plunge. This way, if you want, you can experience what its like first hand. - $100 or more - For anyone who donates over $100, I will be collecting water from my plunge, put it in a small vile, and ship it to you we a thank you card. - If I hit my goal - I will have two small polar bears join me at the event. This way you can be part of the action.

A Decade of Plunges

On Sunday, March 5, 2023, I will be participating in my 10th Chicago Polar plunge. I've done this when it has been:

  • -12 degrees farenheight and a bulldozer was needed to break the ice
  • Virtual and I had to find my own way to chill with some ice and a kiddie pool
  • 50 degrees and sunny

I started plunger in 2013 through the invite of a dear friend and the mission and story of Special Olympics Chicago hit a chord that I've carried on year after year.  Your donations help thousands of athletes in the Chicagoland area get to their train and participate in competitive athletic events.  Through your donations, people with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to discover new strengths, abilities, and accomplishments.  

There are two asks I have of anyone who visits this page:

  1. Make a donation to my fundraising page!

  2. Whether you donate or note, help me spread the word! Share my fundraising page with your friends and family via social media.

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