One of the largest fundraising events for Special Olympics Chicago usually takes place on Chicago's icy lakefront. This year, new and veteran Plunge participants can plunge safely in the facility of their own choosing (with prizes and incentives awaiting those who register and fundraise). The winners of the annual costume contest and most creative plunge awards will be announced at a virtual "melt down" party on March 7.

Event Cost: Free; fundraising encouraged

Event times: March 1-7
