DuPage Co. Sheriff's Office To Take Part In Polar Plunge

WHEATON, IL—The DuPage County Sheriff's Office is raising money for a good cause by participating in the Law Enforcement Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Illinois.

Deputies are asking the community to join them as they brave the chilly weather and take a splash in the cold water. The sheriff's office currently has two teams taking part in the upcoming event.

The DuPage County Shivering Sheriffs will plunge on Feb. 29 at the Oakbrook Bath And Tennis Club. Team Copsicle will plunge at Twin Lakes Golf Course and Recreation Area in Palatine on March 22.

"We hope to have the biggest turnout ever and raise more money than ever to support Special Olympics Illinois. This is NOT limited to only Sheriff’s Office employees," the sheriff's office said.
