Bolingbrook Police Department Slides for Special Olympics

On Saturday, March 6, 2021, the Bolingbrook Police Department participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Illinois Polar Plunge. The theme this year was, #BeBoldGetCold. It is not how or where you plunge, but that you plunge in support of the Special Olympics Athletes.

This year the Bolingbrook Police Department, led by Sgt. Kris Schrubbe, supported this great cause in a unique and socially distant fashion by slipping and sliding down the hill behind the Village Hall, with an assist from a tarp, some dish soap, and ice cold water.

The Polar Plunge is one of many fundraising events that provide critical funding for the brave athletes of Special Olympics Illinois so they can compete in year-round sports and training, health and wellness, and leadership programs, including virtual programming.

The Polar Plunge event has become a time honored tradition for the men and women of the Bolingbrook Police Department. They are proud and honored to support Special Olympics of Illinois by taking part in such a meaningful event to support these brave and tremendous athletes. The members of our department are very dedicated to the community and volunteer countless hours to create a positive impact within our village, which was evident during this event. A special thank you to all who made this a huge success!
