Plunging for our pal Emma Nelson

Emma Story

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.

Support Emma and Her Special Olympics Journey!

We are excited to share that our daughter, Emma, a 5th grader at Edison Park Elementary, is participating in the Special Olympics. Emma loves being part of this incredible athlete community, and we are proud of her dedication and enthusiasm.

We’re raising funds to help support Emma and other athletes in the Special Olympics. Every donation makes a difference and helps provide the resources needed for these amazing athletes to compete and thrive.

Please join us in supporting Emma and the Special Olympics! Your generosity means so much to us and to all of the athletes who benefit from your support.
