The Lawton Police Department has thrown down the gauntlet—or rather, the bathing suit—as they invite local residents to take part in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge on February 28. This event isn’t just about feeling the icy bite of cold water; it’s a vibrant fundraiser that supports athletes in the Special Olympics. It’s about community spirit, courage, and a splash of fun!
In a heartfelt post on their social media, officers encouraged everyone to join them in this daring challenge or support them through donations. The department is not only gearing up for the plunge; they are rallying the entire community to dive in—figuratively or literally. While specific details about the event’s location are yet to be revealed, the excitement is already palpable.
By participating, residents will help ensure that Special Olympics athletes have the resources and support they need to shine. It’s a chilly fundraiser, but it promises to be warmhearted! So, as the temperature drops, spirits are set to soar. Who’s ready to take the plunge for a good cause?
