Hi everyone,

We’re thrilled to reconnect with our past (and future) Polar Plunge crew, the folks who have braved the cold, brought the energy, and helped make an incredible difference for Special Olympics athletes over the years. Because of supporters like you, our community continues to grow stronger, prouder, and a whole lot bolder.

This year’s Rochester Polar Plunge is shaping up to be our best yet, and we’re excited to try something NEW! On Friday, January 30, we’ll dive into the brand-new Cool School Mobile Polar Plunge at Nazareth University, a special event designed for students, staff, and school teams who want to take the leap together in support of inclusion, teamwork, and school spirit. It’s an awesome way for young leaders to get involved and feel the power of doing good… even if it’s a little chilly!

By joining our team on Cool Schools Friday, you directly support Special Olympics programs, competitions, and year-round opportunities for athletes across our region. When we plunge, we’re not just jumping into icy water; we’re standing up for courage, belonging, and possibility!

This year, we’re rallying together as the Icy Eagles, and we’d love to have you with us. Lace up the boots, grab your brave friends, and help us show what happens when heart, community, and a little winter wildness come together.

Thank you for everything you’ve done in past years, and for whatever you’re able to give again this year, whether that’s plunging, fundraising, cheering, or spreading the word. Every effort matters, and every splash changes lives.

Hope to see you on the shore (and in the water!),

The Icy Eagles Leadership
