We’re freezin’ for a reason!
This year, we’re taking the plunge - literally. We’re jumping into icy water as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run’s Polar Plunge, raising funds for Special Olympics in Australia.
Why? Because every Australian deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence and connection that sport brings.
Special Olympics Australia provides year-round sports training and competition for people with intellectual disability and/or autism. Through sport, athletes build skills, friendships, independence and belief in themselves - and that impact extends far beyond the playing field.
By supporting our Polar Plunge, you’re helping:
- Fund inclusive sports programs across Australia
- Provide coaching, equipment and competition opportunities
- Create communities where everyone belongs
- Break down barriers and build a more inclusive Australia
Yes, it will be cold … very cold. But it’ll be worth it!
If you can, please donate and help our team reach our fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference.
Together, we’re freezin’ for a reason. Thanks for your support!
