This past weekend, my team and I “took the plunge” for the Special Olympics District of Columbia! The Polar Plunge is a yearly fundraiser where participants jump into an ice cold pool to show support for the athletes of?Special Olympics. These fundraising efforts make a real impact on the lives of the athletes and I’m proud to support this important work. Thank you to my teammates for “taking the plunge” with me, and thank you to my many EY colleagues and friends who supported us by donating to our team. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you want to get involved. To learn more about Special Olympics DC and the Polar Plunge, see here: https://lnkd.in/eM7xEHC2
