CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will be taking the plunge into Lake Michigan on Sunday, March 3rd, alongside nearly 5,000 other participants for the 24th annual Polar Plunge. This event, which is the largest plunge in the Midwest, raises funds for the Special Olympics Chicago/Special Children's Charities (SOC/SCC) program.
Expressing his excitement for the upcoming event, Mayor Johnson stated, "As we gear up for the 24th annual Polar Plunge, I'm thrilled to plunge into Lake Michigan alongside thousands of participants in support of the Special Olympics Chicago/Special Children's Charities program. This event embodies our city's commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and community support."
