Champlin Park Polar Plunge Raises $16K for Special Olympics, Unified Club

5:47 PM | Thursday, March 27, 2025

The weather may be warming up, but students and staff at Champlin Park High School got chilly and wet for a good cause this week.

Hundreds of people gathered in the parking lot Thursday afternoon for the school’s 4th annual mobile Polar Plunge.

Champlin Park organized the event to support Special Olympics Minnesota, as well as the school’s Unified Club, which is a group consisting of students with and without intellectual disabilities.

Two of the 220 people who took a plunge into freezing water at Champlin Park High School.

The money raised at Thursday’s event will help Unified Club members participate in different activities and sporting events.

“Unified has continued to grow in our school and our community, and we’re so proud of it,” said Maia Miller, Champlin Park’s Unified advisor. “An example is today. Our plunge keeps growing. People keep pushing us to keep moving forward, and our community is completely behind us.”

A total of 220 people took the plunge and helped raise more than $16,000.
