The Polar Plunge is the largest fundraiser for Special Olympics Chicago. There's also a virtual option this year, after the entire event was virtual in 2021, due to COVID-19.
Over the last decade, the Chicago Polar Plunge has become the largest and most well-known plunge in the country, attracting celebrity plungers and garnering national and international attention, organizers said.
Plungers have included Vince Vaughn, Dax Shepard, and Lady Gaga.
Plungers were met with fierce winds and cold water temperatures of 37 degrees, but that did not stop their fiery spirits and warm hearts. The air temperature was 39 degrees.
All funds raised will be donated to the 7,500-plus athletes from Special Olympics Chicago and Special Children’s Charities. This year’s Polar Plunge exceeded last year’s goal and raised more than $1.7 million dollars.
This polar plunge was located at Chicago's North Avenue Beach.
4 thousand people strong plunged on this day!
Be safe and enjoy!
