How will you this year? Remember it’s not HOW you plunge or WHERE you plunge, but THAT you plunge. This year you can choose from two options:
❄ Plunge YOUR Way – At home, at a friend’s house, at the park, at the office, however you’d like!
❄ Plunge OUR Way – At your local Plunge site
Learn more, find your local Plunge, and register for the 2022 Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Polar Plunge at plungeillinois.com.

Join us as we get in the holiday spirit and play some holiday trivia on Kahoot! Wear your favorite holiday sweater or pj's, sip on some hot chocolate or warm cider and let's be merry! To join a game, you will need to put the Kahoot app on your phone or tablet. You can find this in the App Store. The night of the call we will give you a PIN # where you will join the game and your device. Players will then answer on their own devices, while questions are displayed on a shared screen.
YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THE EVENT AHEAD OF TIME click here https://soill.zoom.us/.../tZIofuirpjkpEtR_iR9angN9zVlI...
Virtual volunteer opportunity!
