Why We Plunge

On Sunday, March 2, 2025 We 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! We are 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. We do this for my sister Nancy and our friends brother Andrew, who both had disabilities and participated in Special Olympics.

There are three easy ways to support my plunging efforts:

  1. Donate to my fundraising page!

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

  3. Help us spread the word! Share our fundraising page with your friends and family.

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