Dear Friends and Family,

This November 8th, I'm becoming a Holy Child Polar Bear and taking my first-ever Polar Plunge at Playland in Rye! That's right--  I'll be jumping into icy-cold water to raise awareness and funds for the incredible athletes of the Special Olympics.

The Polar Plunge is more than just a chilly challenge -- it's a way to show courage, kindness, and community spirit while supporting people with intellectual disabilities who train, compete, and inspire every day through Special Olympics programs.

I'm hoping you'll help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation of any size. Every dollar goes directly to supporting these amazing athletes and the inclusive opportunities the Special Olympics provides.

You can support my plunge by donating here: https://events.nyso.org/site/TR/Plunge/POLARPLUNGE?px=1765264&pg=personal&fr_id=3300

Thank you for cheering me on and helping me make a splash for such a great cause! I'll be thinking of all of you when I take that freezing leap -- and I promise to share some photos (and maybe some shivers) afterward! 

With gratitude and excitement,

Charlotte Johnson
