HHS organizes team for Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics

by | Mar 17, 2021 | Education

A Hopkinton High School team is being formed for the Polar Plunge, a fundraiser for Special Olympics athletes that will take place Friday, March 26, and participants are being sought. Individuals have until the day of the event to register at polarplungema.org (enter Hopkinton High School when asked which team to join). Fundraising can continue until April 15.

While the name suggests participants will jump into a body of water, an alternative is dump water on one’s head — which is what the HHS group plans to do on Friday at 2:30 p.m. outside the school.

All money raised supports year-round sports training and competition for athletes with disabilities.

For more information, email team captain Bianca Pal at bpal@hillers.org.
