ATLANTA – Meredith Elisabeth Crum drops in on Cellini & Dimino to talk about the upcoming Polar Plunge at Acworth Beach.
“What’s that,” you ask?
The Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Georgia is an annual fundraising event where participants take a brave dip into cold water, usually in the winter months, to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics Georgia (SOGA). The event invites individuals, teams, and organizations to pledge or raise funds for the Special Olympics programs, and in exchange, they take part in the “plunge” into chilly waters, typically in a lake, ocean, or pool that is specially set up for the occasion.
The Polar Plunge serves as one of the signature events for Special Olympics Georgia, helping to provide funding for the organization’s year-round sports training and competition programs for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Participants are often encouraged to fundraise by getting sponsorships from friends, family, and colleagues.
