Chicago Polar Plunge

Brave the cold and head to North Avenue Beach this March for the Chicago Polar Plunge, which sends thousands of shivering participants into the icy waters of Lake Michigan to raise money for the Special Olympics Chicago. Can't make it to North Aveunue this year? The fundraiser is also offering a virtual edition, giving you some creative freedom to jump into a snow bank, a cold shower or pour a bucket of water over your head as you support Chicago's Special Olympians.
