The CDCR/CCHCS team, Freezin’ for a Reason, will plunge into Lake Tahoe March 28 to benefit Special Olympics.
“Join us as we Plunge for Special Olympics to encourage inclusion through sports and change the way that people think about and treat individuals with intellectual disabilities. Funds raised from the South Lake Tahoe Polar Plunge help us continue to generate change in our communities and enhance the lives of our athletes and their families,” according to the team’s website. “Yes it takes a lot of guts into jump in chilly waters in the middle of winter, but we’re crazy enough to do it. Are you? You can dip your big toe or your whole body, it is completely up to you.”
