The Polar Plunge, presented by the Law Enforcement Torch Run and GEICO, is a unique opportunity to support Special Olympics athletes by taking a flying leap – a leap into the frigid waters of Lake Springfield. Participants must raise $100 in donations from friends, family and co-workers in exchange for jumping into the icy waters.
The plunge will take place Saturday, March 3 at Lake Springfield located at KC Lake Club, 141 North Lakewood, Chatham. Registration takes place at 10:30am with the plunge at 12pm.
Pre-registration will take place Friday, March 2 at the Knight's of Columbus Lake Club starting at 5:30pm. There will be a fish fry so come out to pre-register and stay for a great dinner.
Plungers will receive incentive prizes based on the amount of money they raise. By raising the minimum of $100, you’ll receive an official Plunge hooded sweatshirt. Sweatshirts will be available on a first come, first serve basis the day of the plunge. All individuals who do not receive a sweatshirt the day of the event will have one mailed to them in April. Other prizes are awarded at the $250, $500 and $1,000 levels and will be mailed to participants in April.
