Why I Plunge

On Sunday, March 2, 2025 I 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! 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 my plunging efforts:

  1. Donate to my fundraising page!

  2. Join my team and take the plunge with me at North Avenue Beach on March 2, 2025.

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

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

I've wanted to do the Polar Plunge for a long time and this year is my opportunity! My niece Hannah and Brother Brian and done the Plunge for years through the CFD. Hannah has competed in the Special Olympics for years; this is a wonderful event and means so much to all the people who work so hard to be a part of the Olympics. Thank you for helping!
