LiveDAYBREAK's Annual Winter Freeze Festival, including the newly added Polar Plunge for the Special Olympics, was a resounding success! This event featured the Polar Plunge, live ice sculpture demonstrations, Olympic Athlete meet-and-greets, a Cardboard Sled contest, a dog sled, snowshoe activities, a s'mores station, hot chocolate, and more!
With 1,200 attendees and 250 jumpers, our Polar Plunge in Utah raised a record-breaking $30,000. The funds support Special Olympic athletes in Utah and Salt Lake County for practice facility fees, uniforms, and sporting equipment. Thank you to all participants and contributors!
Thank you to Real Salt Lake for the video highlight.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers who braved the cold to help make this event a reality. Your dedication is truly appreciated!
