Grab your friends and participate or come out and watch for free as more than 1,000 likely Chicagoans take the “Polar Plunge ” into icy Lake Michigan on Sunday, March 7, 2010 to benefit Special Olympics! Registration is free but participants are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in donations, which will support Special Olympic Chicago Programs. Whether you go waist high or take the full plunge, we invite you to join us and support Special Olympics programs enjoyed throughout the year by our 5,000 Chicago athletes. Last year 1,200 participants enjoyed a very memorable day. It’s quick and simple to set up a personal fundraising page at www.chicagopolarplunge.org.
Participants receive:
• A long-sleeved T-shirt
• Free admission to the “Melt Down Party”, in heated tent with music, food, refreshments, cash bar and more!
