Are you Freezin’ for a Reason? Get ready for the #ChillOfALifetime at the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Ohio Polar Plunge!
 
The Polar Plunge is our largest community fundraising event, dedicated to supporting athletes from Special Olympics Ohio. 

As a presenting sponsor of the Law Enforcement Torch Run program, we have created this page for The American Legion to track their support of the nearly 20,000 athletes statewide. 

Here are two ways in which you can support:
 
1. DONATE by clicking the donate button at the top of this page and follow the prompts!
 
2. Create a team for your Post and decide are you are going PLUNGE MY WAY:

Plunge My Way allows participants to "take the plunge" in their own way. Unlike the traditional Polar Plunge, where participants jump into icy waters, the Plunge My Way offers flexibility by letting individuals or teams choose how they will complete their "plunge" virtually or in a setting of their choice.
 
Choose Your Plunge: Instead of jumping into icy water, participants can select their own unique challenge or activity to "plunge."Examples include:
  • Ice Bucket Challenge: Pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over your head.
  • Snow Plunge: Running through a pile of snow in your swimsuit or a festive costume.
  • Water Balloon Fight: Having a fun water balloon fight with friends and family.
  • Fire Hose: Link up with your local fire department and run through icey water from the hose. 
Participants can complete their plunge at their convenience during the event window, whether it's on a specific day or over a period of weeks. After completing the plunge, participants are encouraged to share their experience on social media, tag Special Olympics Ohio and OHLETR, and encourage others to get involved.
