Hey there, amazing folks! ?

It's that time of year again in the Windy City where we embrace the chilly charm of Chicago, and am I excited! It's Polar Plunge® Chicago season – one of my absolute favorite fundraising events. Why? Because it's all about supporting the incredible athletes of Special Olympics!

Although I've hung up my teaching hat, my heart still holds my fellow educators and their students incredibly close. I'm thrilled to dive back into making waves for a cause that truly matters. Call me adventurous (or just plain crazy!), but the thought of leaping into icy Lake Michigan is less daunting when I think of the thousands of inspiring individuals we're supporting together.

Here’s the scoop – with your encouragement and generosity, we're not just taking a dip; we're empowering our friends to uncover talents, build confidence, and achieve amazing dreams through the fantastic work of the Special Olympics.

So, what do you say? Let's make a splash and raise those funds! Every little bit helps, and your support means the world.

Sending warmth (and courage) your way,

Maureen ❤️
