Event Overview
We will be participating in the 2023 Polar Plunge!!! This yearly event to raise money for The Special Olympics involves taking a dip in Lake Ontario during winter conditions (you don’t have to go all the way in, a toe dip is acceptable). There is also a costume contest that will be happening (no platoon theme yet) on-site too.
