Help the Badgers take the plunge with Special Olympics for the 2019 Polar Plunge
MADISON, Wis. — Taking an icy dip goes much further than you know. Each year, volunteers from around the state of Wisconsin host plunging events to benefit Special Olympics. Each event helps create a world where those with intellectual disabilities can experience joy, demonstrate courage and create positive memories with loved ones.
This year, Wisconsin Athletics is joining in on the fun and taking the plunge with a goal of raising $5,000.
Plunging will take place on the LaBahn Ice Arena at the Wisconsin women's hockey vs. Minnesota State on Sunday, February 10.
For every $1,000 raised, a Badger Men's Hockey player has committed to take the plunge during the second intermission of the game. Among these brave individuals are sophomore Tyler Inamoto and senior Jake Bunz.
Five Special Olympics athletes and their families will be joining the Badgers for this event. In addition to enjoying the game, they will also have the honor of dumping the five-gallon jug of ice water onto each of the student-athlete volunteers during the plunge!
Help us reach our goal and get Men's Hockey to take the plunge! Donations can be made through this link.
